Ditto, IT has me running MSE at work and it is so good that I also installed it on my home machine. I have seen it in action enough to know that it works very well.

Eset NOD32 is the only antivirus you should bother running.

Avast is a complete joke, as is Panda. If you're going to bother doing antivirus and don't trust yourself to avoid running into a problem altogether then you should be running NOD32.

Edit: AVG?!? Jesus christ that's about as effective by trying to ward off viruses by putting a fluffy bunny on your monitor. Seriously.
