AVG has poor detection rates. The free version does not come with the ewido engine that is part of the pro version. it doesn't shape up well against other free products, and should be avoided if you want to the best protection for your machine.
Don't take my word for any of this though, what Im telling you is not based on personal opinion. check out the comparisons here

I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The best PC cleaner and antivirus program is PC Health Boost, it's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate.
It's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than nomal. Download it here for free: http://www.pcboostsoftware.com

Do a search for "free antivirus", AVG, Avira, Avast, Kaspersky (which I've heard good things about on here)...there are some out there, all you have to do is look. :)
