Ugh, AVG Free. REALLY annoying (it wants to rescan the entire HD when
someone *different* logs in, won't do the scheduled scan unless someone
is logged in) and doesn't do a very good job - I've seen virus and
spyware infections on AVG "protected" machines.

Active Virus Shield (aka AOL-branded Kaspersky) does a much better job:
