Avast!!!!!! PC World rank it as the best free antivirus to date. Extensive protection for such a small package.

Antivir. Runs in the backround silently and makes you forget it's even there. Disable the messenger service in msconfig services and you wont have a annoying icon next to your firewall etc.
Also i find ie6 is very virus-spyware prone. Disable scripting of activeX to make your system much tougher to get virus, spyware. Or download ie7 or use firefox-opera. Check if your vulnerable here.
Disabling ActiveX and Java in Internet Explorer

Kaspersky hands down, you can get a 30 day trial of Kaspersky on there website
someone should do a test, which antivirus finds more viruses Kasp or Node32
Zonealarm recently changed their AV and Spyware engine to Kaspersky's so they are very good as well

For me the best anti-virus is Kaspersky. But if you like Free anti-virus try AVG.

I'm going to post a couple AVG questions in here instead of starting a new thread.
1. Each time I scan with AVG the very first thing to come up is an error in which AVG is unable to scan the boot sector. Anyone else getting this or found a workaround?
2. I've read from a few places that a you increase risk of being attacked the more ports you open in your FIREWALL, or the more exceptions you add in your firewall. These ports & exceptions are tiny holes in your firewall for certain programs to work, but also can be vulnerabilities making it easier for one to hack into your system.
Many Anti-Virus products add 1 or 2 exceptions to the firewall, AVG adds 4. Would you consider that a bit of a security risk, however minor, and anyone disabled any of these exceptions?
Sorry for the weird questions but inside AVG there is a register button you must hit to register to be able to post in their forums, which does not work for me at all so I wanted to check to see if anyone can comment on these questions...
