On my 'main' PC, I've been using BitDefender for almost 5 years now. I recently built a second PC with leftover pieces (I upgrade my hardware almost every year) and on that one I've tried "AVG Internet Security 8.0"

I must say that it is an excellent antivirus program: easy to configure, clear and understandable interface, a good and fast engine which doesn't weigh too heavy on the RAM and regular updates (every 4 hours).

Both BitDefender and AVG are considered the top-two A-V software, but since BitDefender doesn't have a free version (bar the regular 3-month trial), there shouldn't be any hesitation about which A-V to choose...

By the way, steer clear of Avira (the one with the red umbrella), as that one is leaking like a sift. And I speak out of experience.
