One of the best free antivirus system available now is Avast! Home edition (it's completely free, but have to get the registration code from avast site.).

I use AntiVir Personal Edition.
It uses less resources than avast and is better than avast.
ANTIVIR ROCKS for me.

My fav-Avast

I think Avast is the best...In most of the articles published in digit and fast track series it looks as these guys prefer avast.

I shifted from Avast Pro to NOD32 recently.

It appears to be a good AV.
