I'll second Avast.  I was running a corporate copy of Symantic/Norton 
for years
on my home computer.  However, a virus managed to make it through.  I was
able to get rid of it, and changed to the free version of Avast.  I 
have not had a
problem since.

The only thing I don't like about avast, is that when it goes out and 
downloads
the updated virus definition file, it doesn't change colors or put an 
alert in the
tray, etc.  All of a sudden your computer slows down, and only after 
the file is
downloaded and avast tells you it has updated the virus file do you 
know why the
computer slowed down.
