If you're looking for a free antivirus program, AVG's pretty good.

http://free.avg.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It just causes some slowdown with Source engine games.

I've used Avast and AVG. Currently using Avast, but you can't go wrong with either one and (best of all) they are free!

i used norton anti virus.
then my computer got infected by tons of malware. nothing worked. my desktop displayed "your privacy is in danger" and a bunch of programs were begging me to buy their software. ie didn't work, and norton detected nothing. i got malwarebyte's anti-malware and it fixed everything. i trust anti-malware.

AVG and Avira are pretty good. I'm probably gonna give something new a shot when I switch to Windows 7 tomorrow though.
