I think I covered this a while ago in an older post on the subject, but will add my input again.

Avira AntiVir! This always gets left off the "Best AV" list for the simple reason it is FREE! (You know how big business works.) In non-biased lists, it always appears right up there with paid AV softs.

There is a professional version which costs, but only adds some other tools like anti-spyware scanner, etc.

I have been using this since my first day on the internet (about 10 years now). I think V2 (now V7) was the first version I installed.

It has never let me down. Between this and my nerdy approach to what I install on my machine, I am yet to have a virus get past it.

I even made a donation to the project a bunch of year ago.

I will continue to use this product until the day it lets me down. (Doubtful at this point!) :)
