Hello:
In terms of usability and performance, I have trusted AVG Antivirus for years. The product has been successful at detecting several attacks over the years, so I trust it to be effective as well. No virus scanner is perfect or 100% effective, in spite of claims to the contrary. I like AVG very much, however, and I recommend it. You can find it for free here:

Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Never had one virus in over ten years.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

I like Active Virus Shield. A lot. 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 personally use Norton Anti-Virus 2007, which I think is one of the best because it gives you constant updates on the newest viruses via LiveUpdate, although the only downside is you have to subscribe. No one said anything was free xD.

i also use spyware/adware removers like Ad Aware SE Personal and Spybot-S&D.

( Download Ad Aware here http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html )
*Note: Have only one antivirus program and one firewall installed on you computer.
Adware/spyware removers are ok to have more of.
