Personally, I use Clamwin and AdAware SE for my machine, and they both do a very good job. I cannot have a firewall on my machine due to its usage, so the more virus protection I can get, the better.

Clamwin is what I personally suggest to computer-savvy people, mainly because it requires you to remove it yourself (lol!), so thats why I don't suggest it for people who don't know squat about computers.

AdAware SE is very good for detecting adware and various types of trojans.

If I were to suggest a few good anti-virus programs for regular computer users, I would suggest the following:
  • Norton 2007/2008
  • Avast
  • NOD32
  • McAfee

All 4 of these are very good, but in specific, Norton and McAfee don't get much credit because they are *very* naggy about your computer's security.

All anti-virus software gives false reports every now and then, and thats just something you have to put up with. Just exclude your program from future scans and your anti-virus software won't nag as much.
