    Remember you also need to act sensibly no anti virus software gives 100% protection.

    They also give the occasional false positive. That is they flag something as a virus that isn't, so always check before deleting.

    AVG is good + free!

    I must admit I like Kaspersky, in my days doing administration in very large networks it became my standard for the centralization of administration. The hit rate's decent too :)
