I don't think that there is a definative answer to your question. It just boils down to what each of us prefer using.

I use avast! and I have installed it on friends and family computers. When you are online, it updates its database at least once a day. And BTW, it's free for personal and home use.

I had problems with AVG free and Zone alarm on VISTA, it was fine on XP though and worked well for me for years. I have recently changed to Comodo and have no problems since

I looked into the problem which i was having and there were quiet a few reports of it on google. Im running AVG and Zonealarm on my daughters XP machine and I have never had any problem with them......maby I should use the Microsft antivirus which they will be bringing out later this year

Kaspersky for me...I tried all the free ones and they only skim the surface...where antivirus is concerned, getting something that goes down deep and doesnt keep telling you how brilliant it is (like Norton) is the one for me..

Gotta say, I've been around the block with anti-virus. The ppl using my pc have a bad habit of browsing the darker back corners of the web, I've had Kaspersky, AVG, Avast, Panda etc, I gotta say Nod32 free is the way to go. Comes in 2 versions that I've used, one with firewall and one with just the A-V, I'm running the 2nd cause the firewall seemed to be more than was needed. Haven't had an issue since.
