I like pc-illin the best......tho at ttimes it tends to block you from sites that you wanna go to (like myspace) but you can easily over-ride that.

You could read the 50 million answers to the 5 million questions asking this exact same thing...many of them were asked in the last 24 hours...
There is no best. Antivirus that is installed from a RELIABLE vendor (such as mcafee, norton, etc..) will do you little to no good unless you properly configure it and have it set up for automatic updates...
If you do not have safe browsing habits and enough knowledge of how your program works to choose the correct response when faced with an infection.. again, the program will do you little good.
Freeware - you get what you pay for.
Good Luck

Well there are a bunch of anti-virus stuff but not all of them work. I would suggest a verry popular anti-virus software like McAfee. Its one of the best anti-virus out there. Don't get norton because they just suck.

Avast, but there is no best, every virus program has its flaw. I recommend Avast because it integrates well into the window environment, and it run very efficiently. I does not eat up your ram so your computer still runs fast. Lastly it does a good job in protecting my computer so i never get viruses.

Depends on your PC configuration. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

Norton will slow your computer dramatically. Get AVG, Avast, or McAfee. Norton is good, but uses too many resources.

I had Norton up until recently, my computer was acting odd and Norton didn't find anything. I d/l AVG free and it found 2 virus, fixed them now my computer is great again!

I use most of them everyday, theres no such thing, one I would avoid is Norton and Mcafee.
Panda http://www.pandasoftware.com is a very good one
Kaspersky is another I would suggest.
Most has their advantages but no one make the perfect one.
