I vouch for Avasti which has worked for me for ages without any problems whatsoever - auto download of definitions and actually tells you when a virus/trojan is detected. A survey I read showed that Avasti is as good as Norton or McCafee so why pay when you can get it for free. AVG is good also apparently.
