I was gonna say AVG, cause Ive heard it a lot but didn't use it more than few days, so i can't say much about it, but I'm sure it's better than all the other one that i know and Ive tried. jibbarja has got a point. Ive heard about AOL and that's about it, but it sounds promising, so check that out, i will too. I'm currently using Windows Live One Care, on 3 months trial but I'm not sure if i like it, so let's check AOL out !

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:

I think that CA.com has a free version. Google for 1 year free trial. I've done it a few months ago, hopefully they still have it. It runs nicely, good interface, and doesn't hog resources.
