Answer #2
You might want to look into a good firewall/anti-virus/behaviour-blocker combination rather than an anti-virus alone.
If a paid solution is what you’re looking for, Kaspersky’s Internet Security is a good product and has consistently scored high among independent tests.
A good, free alternative to Kaspersky’s offering would be Comodo’s Internet Security Premium (which has also managed to place itself high among independent test results) and comes with a firewall, anti-virus, sandbox and HIPS.

I recommended this in another thread, I installed the Pro version of it on all my kids’ pc’s and so far all’s well.
It has quite a few good features (virtual desktop, sandbox as mentioned) and is surprisingly light to run – just disable “Geek Buddy” via Start > msconfig.
You can grab it here as a version (non Pro is free).

While installing Comodo, I use the ‘customise installation’ and deselect PrivDog, GeekBuddy and Comodo Dragon and proceed with just the firewall and the antivirus selected.
I reckon a bit of caution is required while installing it as you might end up with some bloat-ware.
I have Comodo Internet Security Premium running on my mum’s laptop. She isn’t much into technology but I haven’t heard a complaint from her so the product must be good.
