I used the following software in the past 2 years, each of it for a
longer period of time, all full versions:

G Data Antiviren Kit 11
Great software, test winner in c't and several other journals. Finds
almost everything, uses pop.server for mail client. TB! hung several
times (every 3rd time or so) when more than 1 account had mail.
Several demands to support only produced 'help for dummies' - they
just wouldn't believe that their software didn't work as expected.
The system-performance is MUCH SLOWER because of the OnAccess scanner
(I had it always on). Had problems once with a virus test, Marck
helped me out (thanks for that ;-)).

Kaspersky Professional
Works with plugin, great scanner, system slow, really confusing
interface if you're used to other software e.g. G Data.

Norton AV
IMHO: Just forget about them, didn't made me lucky at any time.

AVG
The only one that's free!!! for personal use. Doesn't slow down
the system too much, what I almost prefer most. Works with plugin for
TB! (and works fine on my systems!). Maybe not the best scanner
(following the test results), but in my experience and the ones of
many others on this list it catches quite a lot.

This was a bit of a longer answer, but I thought it could be helpful
for you. I recommend AVG and the use of 'your brain', the best AV-tool
on the market. ;-)))
