Novice\Beginner = Qihoo
Bitdefender Free has minor, but annoying issues in current version; wait for next release. ETA ???

Bitdefender Free exhibits behaviors that user will have absolutely no idea what it is doing if they have not previously practiced quite a bit with Bitdefender Internet Security.

TIP: BD Free runs in "Auto-Pilot" mode using BIS default settings (hidden, hard-coded\unchangeable)... so it does everything automatically.... sometimes without any logging of particular events = = User Confusion.

COMODO Internet Security Premium Intended for users with at least medium computer knowledge/experience - may require tweaking, but when configured and used properly it can offer unparalleled security in many levels. Its security components (when properly configured) can counter all common threats with great ease, as well as the more advanced/hardened/rare threats (including 0-day malware).
Avast Free Antivirus Ideal security product for any average user - offers a well-rounded and balanced feature set to protect the user as they go about their everyday tasks, especially when combined with safe computing and web-browsing habits. Regularly updated and improved.

EDIT: Changed suggestions and edited the suggestion summary for each product.
Removed Qihoo, replaced it with COMODO Internet Security.

In the year where everything are progressive, we witness how Qihoo 360 boost not just on their security products but overall company itself. With the balance concept through their in-house engine and two license 3rd party engine, therefore not a surprise why it excel very well.

Second is Avast where continuously generous to brought massive features as some users input as 'unnecessary', although the balance of protection meet and which why still a considerate security program for FREE.

Thanks for explaining why you chose them. I wish more replies came this way.

I just use whatever have good user interface, good protections, no ads and no pop up, and easy to use and understand and have good reviews and users feedback. Also, not super aggressive like Qihoo 360.
