One other product I'd add to Shenan's list is NOD32:

NOD32 and Kapersky are both excellent products, and users generally rate
them highly. Avast and AVG offer free versions, and both are very good.
Of the two, I prefer Avast. I'm currently using eTrust EZAV (free for
12 months), and I have no complaints. Here's the link:
You can also look at the following site for comparative test results
(the platform for the latest comparative is Windows Server 2003), but as
you can see many of the products perform well.

Personally, I stopped using Symantec (Norton) and McAfee years ago.
There are many other excellent alternatives, some free, that use less
system resources and aren't as bloated as these two.
