www.grisoft.com for AVG antivirus. This is a free trial, but I think a new version is just out which is the one you should be looking for. I have seen other threads on this. Also Zone alarm is popular. These programs are less obtrusive than your typical symantec release. And as for Norton, dont even get me started!

I use avast! antivirus - get it from www.avast.com. Nice and light resource usage, and the home version is free
