what is the best antivirus out now?

RayB:
I'm using AVG but was also wondering if there was a better solution. To me the most important thing next to timely updates and catching virii is how much an impact it has on the system. Since an AV constantly checks files being opened and accessed and written, it can really slow things down.

Which one is fastest?

mr.Curmudgeon:
For prevention, Kaspersky and Spybot's 'Immunize' function every couple of months (since it basically creates a HOSTS file).
For infection clean-up, Malwarebytes Anti-malware (Has never failed me).

Hey lookat me I'm posting!

I use A few antivirus programs between work and home. I think they all have their share of problems but that said I use Avg on one PC avast on another and Symantec (Norton) at work. The two free apps work just as well. I think Avast updates each time you boot which is a mixed blessing. It's always up-to-date but slower PC's take a hit in productivity. AVG seems to work well But it's not perfect. I've heard good things about Antivir, I'm sure it's just as good.

Bottom line is that you're probably just fine with any of those three free antivirus apps.
