Went with AVG for a couple years, worked pretty well, though lately operating during a scan. I probably don't actually /need/ to run a Virus Scan every night, but I like to.
Lately, I've been trialling NOD32, which is going down smooth. May make it permanent.
I used AVG free for a couple of years too. My computer started acting up recently so I switched to Avast! which immediately found 2 viruses AVG didn't see.

Thanks folks. Food for thought there. We are also using Stopzillla which seems to pick up things Nortons misses. Anyway, this gives me a few names to look up on the weekend, a little light reading!

I have been trying one for the last 2 months from PC Tools called Threatfire that came with their firewall. You can get it alone, though the firewall easily lets you pick which applications (Sim2EP8.exe, launcher.exe, bodyshop.exe, etc.) are strictly forbidden to even attempt to access the internet. Works really well so far, and does not use much memory at all. Best thing? It is free.

Never had any problems with AVG free.

I've used AVG which caused problems (crashing and blue screens every fifteen minutes), although the problems in question appear to be a fault with the laptop and AVG should be okay with a different (non-faulty) computer. However, by changing to windows liveonecare the problem disappeared.
