Kaspersky is the best at the moment. It's light, fast and in recent tests the most secure.
As Vista is such a RAM hog, McAfee and Norton are really going to slow down what is left of your memory.
I also use Avast! for free on my mum's computer as she's unlikely to be downloading anything too dodgy!

I run Vista and NOD32 and the best anti-virus is ESET NOD32 then Kaspersky. NOD32 is the only anti-virus that got an Advanced+ rating in tests conducted at http://www.av-comparatives.org/
The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.
I only recommend buying NOD32 (advanced users) or Kaspersky. It has been proven these products are better than the best sellers (Norton and McAfee):

Don't use McAfee or Norton, they are hogs and really screw things up. I use AVG Free Edition, it works great and is easy to use.
