I've been using Avast on two of my machines and AVG on my laptop. I've
had no problems so far, knock silicon. Both seem to be fast,
lightweight and except for AVAST which when the Virus database is
updated announces it loudly over the PC's audio system, unobtrusive.
Oh and both products are free for non commercial use.

Then I'm really pleased I didn't buy McAfee.
Stay the hell away from Symantec's bloatware, too - if you want your machine to
not be chewing up 50% of its CPU just to run antivirus scanning....

Norton IS a virus, and more destructive than most. I do have to
applaud Symantec though, it's not just anybody who can make a business
model of getting people to pay good money to have their data mangled
and computers rendered inoperative.
To paraphrase Yogi Berra; If Peter Norton were alive today, this would
kill him.
