Howdy,
It seem every year when the new anti virus software comes out the one I currently have is always among the lowest rated, so I try to update when my subscription runs out. I don't want to continue to pay for something that is substandard....

I'm updating my system again and need your suggestions on the latest & greatest in Anti-Virus software. I'm looking for something simple to use, inexpensive (free is even better) but fully functional...it has to work!

I'm running XP Home with The Shield Firewall (which has caused problems with other anti-virus softwares in the past).

So, what are you favorite picks and why?
Thanks,
Balootex
