I’m partial toward Avast. Mainly because you can get it free! Or choose the advanced program for a fee.
It seems to catch most viruses (Home Version) and updates itself regularly.
Norton AV has issues as a memory hog and conflicts with other software if used on a network.
I’ve not tried Kaspersky, so I am not familiar with the pros and cons of it.
Give your answer to this question below!
I can give you my opinion only of the programs I have used myself.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 — very good — 8 out of 10
Bitdefender Total Security — very good — 8 out of 10
ESET Smart Security — excellent — 9 out of 10
I have now on my computer ESET Smart Security
Until a couple of months ago I had Bitdefender and a couple of months before that Kaspersky Internet Security. This one I had for over 6 months. but my registration was illegal and was black listed
I liked Kaspersky, but my favorite is ESET
When you want free protection . This is a way to do so
You can protect your computer very well with free programs. The best way is to use a combination of anti virus and anti spyware programs
Anti virus and firewall pro

or

in combination with

Spywareblaster

Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer

This is a very good program, that completely runs in the background

Installing these programs, will not use any extra RAM or CPU usage.
