Why wasn't this thread "free security product of the year" so we could nominate entire internet security packages (CIS of course).

That would be a general classification, there will be too many options for security products which is a huge category. In the initial post it was mentioned you could choose Antivirus, Internet Security and Total Security products.

I thought our choices were limited to the list? Or is the list subject to change depending on the users' suggestions posted in this thread?

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.
