    Free ones are fine. Why do you think otherwise? Have you a problem with one in the past?

    I had mcafee a few years ago, did not like it one bit, really slowed down my pc.

    Yeh, found that a few years ago too. Think it has something to do with scanning every individual action you do.
    Did use a corporate edition of mcafee from a friend who got it from his office, and that was alright I thought.
    I use AVG free now, does the job

    Same, the best way to keep your PC virus free is using common sense.

    micrsosft security essential is one of the best free AV. I dont like AVG very much though, because the amount of false alarm they have.

    and if you happen to have money to spare, eset/nod and kaspersky is some of the best.
