I started using AVG (free home) about 3 years ago when McAfee and a couple of other name brands got to be glut-ware.
I have been completely happy with AVG.
I also use some spyware that I run periodically. I liked Ad-Aware (free home), but I don’t like their new version. The new free home version doesn’t allow me to set preferences, and they added a bunch of stuff to the program. I have been testing out Avorax and Spyware Terminator.
Thanks for that Tom. I am leaning towards AVG, but still reading reviews.
