Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.6

Best anti-virus defence out there

Pros: Has multiple options, Web Shield, Standard Shield, P2P Shield (Protection against nearly all P2P programmes) Outlook/Exchange protection, Network Shield (Mini Firewall which works with standard ones) Internet Mail and Instant messenger protection.

Great update engine

It's free

Cons: Don't particulary like the desktop and system tray icon

Quite a large programme compared to AVG And Anti-vir

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

Version: 7.1.375

Very good

Pros: System scan is averagely fast

Very light on system resources

Quick at system start-up

Good detection rate with the E-mail, resident shield scanner and shell extension

Update manager

Simple interface which would be good for inexperienced users

Low footprints

Cons: Doesn't have a built in lightweight firewall (unlike Avast)

It has a fairly basic interface which may not suite experienced users

Not many options (like Norton) but is a hell of a lot better!
