The best free one has got to be Avast.
The best paid one has got to be NOD32
Mcaffe and norton are rubbish in my opinion

I really hate some anti-virses, they are too bloated, and are paranoid about everything on your computer. AVG is a must, I simply find it does the job without hassling me constantly.

Here is my rant about Anti-virus software:
http://www.bitchingbear.com/post/7/

I have used Kaspersky and boy oh boy, it is too protective, even on medium level. It got rid of my viruses, all 21 Trojans.... but i got rid of it itself. It is suspicious of every process you try to run, and eventually you do not know what is safe and not, so you allow the spyware and deny the explorer.exe stupid me. I temporarly disabled firefox with it, so i suggest you don't use it for protection, and only for a removal tool after you have been infected.

Norton antivirus isn't that out of date, but what i would recommend is something like windows defender, ad-aware se or maybe kaspersky. try it

Get AVG free edition.

No need to pay.  use your head. just back up for ones u cant avoid.

But only virus i've had is blaster worm. which was unavoidable at the time. (thanks Microsoft lol)

If i had a router it would of been avoidable hence y i wrote unavoidable at the time. but i didnt need one anyway(still don't use one). As it was simple to fix

Well thats a lie i use a wireless router on my 2mb and then i have my 10mb directly hooked up to my Pc. then another network card to hook up to my wireless router which is hook up to the 2mb connection. so it powers my x360 + steaming media devices
