AVG is very good and its free.

And try Malwarebytes for the spyware.

Also, free.

I have been loving NOD32 lately. I used to use AVG and put it on all of my customer's computers, but lately it has been letting a LOT of easy viruses through, and have not been able to get them out once they are in.

I would say right now:

1. NOD32
2. Avast!
3. Avira (although I have had problems here too)

For cleanups of infected machines you cannot get better than Malwarebytes at the moment. Together with ComboFix and F-secure Blacklight I am willing to you can get any nasty critter made out of your PC on the first try.

I've been using NOD32 since it has a very small footprint.

IMHO, I do not believe that a "full" paid version is any better than the free ones. I have not paid for antivirus/Spyware programs in over 6 years and my systems have been perfectly fine.
