    I've always used Kaspersky it's hands down the best anti-virus out there.

    Hi
    I personally suggest NOD32.The Fastest and the most secure antivirus software I have found. But anyway this is not a freeware. If you want a freeware then I suggest AVG.

    AVG for me (though I have the Professional version, :D ). Doesn't hog your memory and won't go "crazy" when you open/close programs.

    For some reason, I'm having trouble with AVG's automatic update getting "stuck" at bootup. I've tried various measures to no avail, so I may give AntiVir a shot. I tried Avast, but it seems to conflict with CCleaner.
