Avira Free Antivirus

+ Lighter AV
+ Simple and Ugly UI (like a antivirus of men)
+ Decent Detections (mostly higher than %75-%80)
+ No adware or bloatware
+ No false detection (on my machine)
+ If your family members or fiends want you install AV on their machine, one of the best choice

- Ugly UI if you like shiny things

Avast is also good choice.

+1 for Avira, because it's free of any adware unlike most other Free antivirus solutions available. It's come a long way since being nagware in the past, and leads most of the tests at AV-Test and AV-Comparitives. I see a good future.

Qihoo360 is fine, but it has to update 3 different antivirus signatures, and makes a bloat. Panda is great, but it affects system performance badly, and is ad-supported.

for systems with minimum hardware resources =

trend micro titanium antivirus...light on the system & yet rock solid.

for systems with optimum hardware resources =

bit defender total security = tight on the system & definitely rock solid.

for systems with users paranoid about virus attacks =

kaspersky antivirus = very tight on the system & of course rock solid.

On my desktop, I'm using: 360 Total Security v5 with Windows firewall (Win 7)

On my lappy, I'm currently using Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 (Win 8.1) Thanks to free license on MalwareTips

ESET Smart Security all the way.
Light, caches a lot in ram including sigs for speed vs hogging disc usage causing slowness.
Very very few false positives, sometimes the best vs.
User interface easy to follow, settings easy to get the hang of, creating a "set it and forget it" feeling.
Very fast scans if utilizing "smart" features which use hash, digital sigs, and time stamps to omit scanning files that haven't changed.
