*Never install more than one anti-virus on your PC, as they may conflict with each other. On the other hand, its always good to install more than one anti-spyware.

I prefer bitdefender.Its perfect than other antivirus.In my experience,bitdefender is a best virus of protection than avg and norton.Bitdefender can protect you from bad virus like Autorun.exe virus which the most annoying to flash drive.Eventhough there are no free version,then compare to the protection,its worth than aother antivirus.Just mail me if you have any trouble about antivirus.

There are number of antiviruses on the net. YOu can't say them best or worse. If you update your antivirus in time all of them works good. But norton, avast, avg, kaspersky,mcafee are some of the well known antiviruses. Norton is said to be one of the best but it slow down your computer. Kaspersky on the other hand detects some games(eg fifa07) as virus.
Personally prefer avast.
