The first two are free. Kaspersky is not but considered "the best".

Alias, who uses Avast!

I am currently trying out Avast. It seems to have much less popup
screens, but the only thing that I find strange is that it identified
its own installation file setupeng.exe as being infected and
uncleanable. Other than that it doesn't seem to take a lot of
resources and seems to be behaving well.

I might try Kaspersky next. If it's worth it, I don't mind spending a
little bit of money.

Thanks again ...

I would appreciate any useful tips.


That's strange, I never had that detection on three machines. Did you update Avast! before running it? I set the detection level at High. It also has a boot AV check in Settings/Set Boot Time Scan.
