Personally I use AVG Free.  It's becoming a bit more popular which can be a bad thing (virus writers will often try to disable your current AV program, and will only target the most popular ones).  It seems to work just as well or better than Norton or Mcafee, and is free for personal or non-profit use.  If you're installing it on a work PC, then you have to pay.

I use both being norton and AVG. Being for the fact AVG is more like spybot and adware. Not going to relay on that to protect my computers alone.

Panda Platinum Internet Security. I get it for less than $20 on Amazon.
Norton is a resource hog, and doesn't stop, or even detect, everything, and it only updates once a week. Panda updates everyday and sometimes more than once a day.
AVG Free is...well....free. Remember: you get what you pay for.

AVG isn't too bad. Nortons is crap, i would personally use AVG or Pccillian by Trendmicro , but if i had to use norton's or mccafee, i would choose mccafee, nortons is just not worth mucking with.

norton sucks it make your pc laggggg it eat a lot of memory and space of your HD.......mcafee is good too i use it at least for a year but when i heard NOD32 and study it i found that NOD32 has a lot more powerfull than mcafee so i choose NOD32.......NOD32 ability scan is more powerfull than mcafee............i use NOD32 for a 1 year now it make me happy always.............

about avast is good but if you choose i goo with kaspesky powerfull than avast..............why?

cuz i use both NOD32 and Kaspersky in one pc no laggy even i played online games with high resulotion..........
