Anti-viruse program

Joshua0001:
My current anti-viruses program is Norton Works. Ive had it for about 6 years and I'm used to it. Unfortunately my subscription expired and since im going to have to pay $79.99 I thought it might be a good idea to get an upgrade instead. The problem with this is they stopped making works so now i have to pick a new program. At the store i found 2 different norton programs(Norton 360™ Version 4.0 Premier Edition and Norton™ Internet Security 2010) and a third that 2 of the sales floor guys recommended as something both they and the store use(ESET Smart Security 4). If you need to look it up ill put the links bellow. What I'm looking for is some personal feed back as to what others think about them. Perhaps someone else has actual hands on experience with them and could share it with me? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

avg imo, it's all i use (and all the computer shop i go to recommends\installs)
it's free and it does the job as well as any other antivirus

as a side note, most computer problems aren't so much virus's anymore as malware (ppl install programs without checking into them, or install free software without reading each page fully)

Paying for Anti-Virus is for suckers. Microsoft Security Essentials is free and works better than that crap from Symantec. It has very low resource usage, and it will never bother you for any reason (unless it detects something).

+1 although I personally use common sense as my antivirus.

That used to be my only anti-virus, but MSE is so simple and I don't notice that it's running, so I just let it run. I don't even notice it running on my shite Celeron laptop of slow-ness.
