avast all the way, and you better have malware bytes and spybot search and destroy handy. If you have those three programs you are almost under lock and key from viruses, however sometimes things can still get through. That is when you need to use Hijack this. However, do not use hijack this unless you know what you are doing because you can break your computer worse.
Now I sell norton all day every day. It actually is really awesome now. The newest version doesn't hog your resources, and it gives you a lot of overall protection. Especially if you regularly back up files to an external hard drive, or you do lots of online banking and purchases it will protect your identity from being stolen, and it actually finds MOST viruses. Never used McAfee. They got hacked earlier this year or late last year and their shit doesn't work anymore. Kaspersky is another really good pay for program. It detects hook viruses and root kits better than most things besides malware bytes.
That is just my two cents. I prefer the top ones over norton but yeah just saying.
