Free is nice, but not as comprehensive as a purchased program. This week on a 3-day sale, our local computer store was offering a 3-licence Norton 2009 for $9.99 after rebates. Norton has been in the AV business for years and considered one of the best. Of course, no AV software will protect you if you are careless.
No need to buy. Free alternatives are the best.
