I use Avast home edition. You need to renew your license every year (free), but I don't mind.

I dont 'do' P2P, which is pretty much what you are buying when you use pay virus scanners. Avast works great in everything else.

Nod32 has a better overall score in comparisons to other retail virus scanning software. I would recommend that if you don't mind paying for Virus software, but have never used it myself.

Also, virus software is probably a minority when cleaning up machines. You are more likely to get adware than a virus. Actually, you are more likely to get 1 adware and the 50 others that it brings, than a virus.

Zonealarm seems to work very well once setup although the 6.5 update crashed my computer big time, but heh still a good product!!
