Don't pretend to know a lot about this...but know what I like..
At the mo... have Eset Smart Security. Also Superantispyware and just downloaded free 'Threatfire', it all seems very easy on my system. Although I did pay for the first two. I like the security suites, and all are compatible.
Have tried Kaspersky (ok)
Also Mcfee (ok but, slowed the comp down)
Had adaware professional, alongside above, for a few years and really liked it, but did not want to pay for the 2008 version, but had to change as there was no more updated from April.
Have used Avg in the past, it was ok for a while, but had a problem it could not remove, so changed...hope you all get joy, or sort it out.
I have heard that Avast have a free antivirus download, but don't know how it is reviewed...If your not happy...check out the review sites, what's free, what's not. Nothing worse than software giving you a headache, life's short enough.
Just a few thoughts, hope it helps

You made the best choice !  Eset is the best one - it's written in machine-code, which means that it places the lightest of loads on your computer's processor, which means that it won't slow the PC down. In tests, Eset NOD32 was found to be nearly three times faster than AVG. I currently use Kaspersky, which is pretty good, but when the subscription is up on it, I will be switching to Eset. http://www.eset.com/products/compare-NOD32-vs-competition.php
Wow..thanks Nick, that's good to know. Hardly know it is on my system, am well pleased so far
Thanks for the link

What impressed me with Eset was how it dealt with "In the Wild" virus attacks. Viruses "In the Wild" are new viruses which don't yet have a circulated virus signature, so they can only be caught by analysing files using heuristic methods
In independent tests, Eset found 79% of In the Wild viruses, whilst AVG only managed 34%. Also, AVG is often plagued by heuristic false-alarms, which can be both time-consuming and quite frightening.
