half of my computers dont have a virus checker on at all, the rest have AVG. I find AVG tends to perform quite well when the PC is running, but slows the boot process down a fair bit.
I have used Avast and AVG Free in the past, and both were excellent. In the end I purchased a copy of AVG, at the time they were offering a 3 PC license for about £50, now they only seem to offer a single PC license. The full version comes with anti-spam, anti-adware and a whole host of other features, while the free version is just a virus checker.
As long as you keep your PC up-to-date, and dont open attachments from people you don't know, you should be fine. Using webmail rather than a mail client also helps keep you virus free.
