I also have run AVG, Avast and various other "freebie" anti-virus packages
and have found them to be excellent. You may however want to look at the
one I am currently using "Microsoft Security Essentials". MS are not
pushing this (probably in case of class action suits) but it is available
free from their website, updates with Windows Update and so far seems pretty
impressive.
