I use Kaspersky and I am very happy with it. I tried the top three free ones,
AVG, Avira, and Avast. I like the AVG the least. It gave me a lot of false
virus reports.

The other two are good but all the free ones have one or two things you
cannot do unless you upgrade like automatic scan or automatic update. I
prefer a set and forget system. Here is my security and backup setup.
Everything is automatic (set & forget!)

*Kaspersky Antivirus 2009 (quick scan every day and full scan once a week
and the full array of protection turned on),
* Vista Firewall,
* Malewarbytes set on automatic daily (Paid version),
* Windows Defender set on automatic daily (Free),
* CCleaner set to run automatically every week (Free),
* PerfectDisk (defrag) set to run when screen saver is active and once a
month,
* Acronis True Image set to do incremental backup nightly.

Avast, Avira, and AVG can all be scheduled to run a scan, and all of them update automatically. They all have other settings which can be altered too..
