AVG is nice and since Norton decided to play with rootkits I'm thinking AVG sounds really nice right now 
and best of all, they are broadening their horizons, glad to see they are serving the Linux systems now

i agree shadow, that was disappointing, because even people who weren't users of Norton thought hell thats bad (example: me)
AVG is one of if not the best free option. They also do one they charge for and since the rootkit thing, i hope they do well.
Microsoft's Security Center (SP2 feature or pain depending how you feel) that detects internet protection software sees AVG, so if anything MS take them serious
