adamdbz :
I've been using avg for the last 4-5 years on all the computers I build and I all ways loved it but lately I've been reading that avg is bad and I need to switch.
What do you think is it so bad?
Paid: GDATA as suggested by "Area51..." or Kaspersky
Free: Many; I like MSE v 4. It is pretty good and extremely light.
Extras: Either a realtimie MBAM Pro or an on-demand MBAM, SuperAntispyware plus real-time (free I suppose) Spyware guard.
