Default Antivirus

Ive been having trouble for some reason with my custom built pc and the current virus and firewall i have. I was wondering if there were by any chance free antivirus software since i plan on using windows firewall. if not any free then maybe a cheap one but still has fairly good quality??

I reccomend that you at least ditch Nortoncraphogmoneybag. Since when has Nod32 become free? I'm personally using AVG right now, and love it.

I've used both AVG and Avast! and I love the features on Avast! and, probably for no reason, think that Avast picks up more stuff that AVG did...that's probably just a loose opinion though.
