I'd say McAfee 8.0. I also have a link of antivirus software reviewed by both editors and users of PC Magazine. Hope it helps.

For a free antivirus, I don't think there is any better than AVG's free version.

The best anti-virus protection out there is to get Norton Internet Security and Webroot Spy Sweeper. Together these programs block a lot of viruses and spywear. No program is going to block %100 viruses in a matter of fact the best ones out on the market only stop about 40% of all viruses.

I like AOL Active Virus Shield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
Full test chart is here:

Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb ram)
Active Virus Shield detects and removes spyware, also.
And it updates up to 15 times a day with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.
Good stuff, free for everyone from:

Well, if you have Comcast as a service provider, McAfee comes free.
Even if you don't, I would recommend it.
