Why Not Use AntiVirus That You Already Bought?
If you have broadband internet service in the USA, chances are you already pay for commercial antivirus programs. AT&T, Verizon and Comcast all provide commercial AV with their broadband services. Here are the links:

Microsoft also has entered this market with a very competitive free download http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/. The reviews so far are good. I can’t recommend it myself, it needs time to prove it works. However, I have switched to using it since it came out of Beta. I don’t use Windows much, so my risk is very low.
In short, since you’re already paying for these commercial antivirus programs, why spend money on them again? Use the free versions that your ISP provides.
