A friend of mine (Yeoldstonecat) suggested this on a tech site we frequent and I thought I'd pass it on to you guys.

I am going to give it a test drive. Nothing like efficient and free.

Microsoft Security Essentials, BETA was out mid summer, officially released today.
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/
It's a VERY good antivirus product, I've been using the BETA for months now in cleaning up infested computers, it's doing a very good job at getting current malware threats, and it will only get better.
Free, free updates, should remain nag free, lightweight on your system too.
So far the best free antivirus has been AntiVir...very lightweight and excellent in detection. But some people find the interface a bit complicated, and they don't like the advertisements of the free version.
In my experience in cleaning infected computers, and in reading various other AV comparison articles, MSE is nearly as good in detection...and it's fast getting better with their SkyNet cloud technology.
For most people who use a free antivirus....I strongly recommend you consider this product.
