The absolute best free anti-virus I've found is Ubuntu 8.10 - once I got rid of windows, I didn't have such problems. But assuming that you've got some special attachment to Windows, I'd push for AVG if you must have one installed.

Any Linux distribution is a good anti-virus, I agree. Also, if you have a router, it is probably a hardware firewall. I haven't used anti-virus for a couple of years now, nor a software firewall. I just don't need it.

That said, if you like finding "free" games or pron online, you're flying on your own.

Though reading about Windows 7 with the Virtual XP today on FR, I must confess that actually sounds intriguing.
