Good call! McAfee and Norton are both terrible anti-virus programs that act like viruses themselves and "protect" your computer in really sloppy ways. McAfee, for example, has been known to block ports that basically disable all internet access. Yeah, if you're not online you're not at risk for viruses, but that misses the point of an anti-virus software! That'd be like removing your liver to prevent cirrhosis.
AVG is a good one. Other good picks are Avast!, BitDefender, Kaspersky, and Panda Security. For home computing, the free versions of all of these brands are just fine.
