AVG Free - "AVG Free offers very good (and very free) protection against viruses and spyware... As a bonus, its real-time LinkScanner technology keeps you from clicking search links to dangerous sites. It's an excellent choice if you need free protection against both viruses and spyware."

Avast provided your PC can handle it otherwise AVG is probably just as good. I've use both with good results and I get into lots of places I probably shouldn't. 8)

Only thing McAfee and Norton rhyme with these days is 'trash can'. I haven't seen either of those 2 be very affective in the last few years.
But if it's working for ya...... :thumbsup:
