I can't tell you which program is the best for you, as everybody has their personal preferences. I personally use avast! but I complement it with Virus total if I download something. But most importantly, your personal brain.exe will protect you better than any anti-virus software ;)

for a free soft - Avast is not so bad, but it's still horrible with false-positives, often removing an object on it's own without asking you and has multiple other problems. Still it will be hell better than AVG.
From paid soft - ESET owns all.

I've always like MSE. Free, no annual "renewals", no ads to upgrade to a "better" version, and works great.
The biggest thing you need to worry about is being smart. A basic AV + a router (for the hard firewall) + being smart > any expensive "security suite" that will slow you down.

After lots of tests, Avast is the free antivirus that i preferred.
It is fast, light and reliable.
In case you choose it, remember to disable that damned pop-up.
Norton is Satan

My ISP gave me a free license for the latest Norton, I was shocked. Not only is it using 60% less resources then avast, but it also let me set it up exactly like I wanted to. It was very much improved from their previous products. I saw two people calling it evil allready, but so far it has been problem free for me.

I have been using AVG Free Antivirus for about 2 years now I think, but now I've seen some discussions in which people have called it terrible, saying that it slows down your PC a lot, comes with adware, etc. So, now I uninstalled it, but I'm pretty paranoid about getting a virus or trojan, especially because I don't want to lose my Steam account. Can anyone recommend a good antivirus? I heard that Avast is pretty good, but I'm not sure yet.
