Default Advice Please ?

I know this is a common question on this forum but what is the best FREE Anti Virus out now

I've been using AVG 7.5 for both my Windows Vista & W2K machines but since AVG updated to 8.0 which I'm not fond of, i want to know what else i can use

Thanks

i use AVG 8.0 Free and like it... it has everything in one and i like it. Keeps my computer system happy.

Edit - as for another virus protection not sure what else is around... that is as good as AVG.

Also... what don't you like about AVG 8.0?
