I've been round the lot, but currently running Microsoft's offering on Win 7 and have to say I quite like it. It has picked up a few bits and pieces that I threw at it on purpose so I'm happy enough with it.
BUT, I also recommend that you read the thread linked to in post 6 so that you can make an informed choice.0 -
Comodo. been uising it for 9 months now. No problems but the sandbox is very confusing- so i've disabled it.0

Avira anyone? Tops the charts in detection rate and when it comes down to it you want your AV to be the best at detecting viruses.0

at the current moment in time (changes quite often) the best free anti virus's around are
Avira
Avast

Had MS Essentials ... PC hanging all the time till the antivirus decided it was finished every single day.... and it wasn't on auto update ... got rid of it ... now have Avira and like it .... doesn't slow my system and is basic to understand so that you don't have to have a degree in computing to use it.0
