    NOD32. It's the best anyways.

    This is a good independent test site: http://www.av-comparatives.org/.

    NOD32 and Avira seem to get the best overall ratings these days.

    I use Avast! Home edition because I prefer freeware and Avira has a nag popup every time it updates. (Actually, can someone confirm that Avira still does this?)

    Yes, Avira free still " offers" the nag popup.
    Here is the how-to manual to disable the Avira Free popup.
    Cheers.
