    Try Avast. It's free for home use and is the business. I prefer it to AVG or McAfee, both of which I have used in the past, any day.

    AVG scans on start up so does slow your pc, just interupt the process & you'll be ok again.

    Serial numbers for Avast pro are easy to come by if anyone needs one
