All antivirus do just as well at detecting viruses. So the best antivirus is a free one. Here are three free ones that you can choose from:
AVG Free Edition: http://free.grisoft.com
Avast 4 Home: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
Avira Antivir Personal: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html
To get the actual comparisons of how every anti-virus program compares with the competition, go to the following link and scroll down to find the “Online Report” of the most recent “On-demand comparative”:

Lastly, I also recommend installing Site Advisor. This free product will pop-up a red balloon if you go to any web sites that have malware. It will also put green, yellow, and red icons next to your Google and Yahoo search results. http://www.siteadvisor.com/

Free Anti-Virus: Avast Home Edition
Avast home edition is free and effective, it protects your PC from infected webpages, scans your downloads and emails for viruses and has built in anti-rootkit and anti-spyware, plus it gives you the option to run a boot scan, there are very few anti-virus’s that can do all this paid or otherwise and this is free.
Avast works for 60 days from installation after which you will need to register to get your free product key this is valid for a year after which you just register for another free key, so it always free.
I use Avast along side Comodo firewall both are free, light on memory and have been independently tested and proven to be more effective then big names like Mcafee.

People often recommend AVG but Avast is far better:
On AVGs official website it states that their free anti-virus software does not screen downloads for viruses (one of the most common ways of getting infected). I’ve also tested both AVG and Avast using the EICAR test viruses, AVG allowed all the viruses onto the computer without a single warning where as Avast either blocked them instantly or shorty after preventing all from running, Avast is much lighter and offers far superior protection.

avg anti-virus should do this for you. if not, it will catch the virus right when you get it

I think My Free Antivirus is suit you.
My Free Antivirus is a unique algorithm of scanning, high speed of detection, daily antivirus base updates, protection from cyber viruses, trojans, worms. The Free Antivirus real-time protection module allows you to prevent malware intrusion attempts. My Free Antivirus is undemanding towards computer resources and completely compatible with Microsoft Windows versions including Windows Vista. The Free Antivirus has an easy-to-use interface and a small size distributive that is however a powerful antivirus tool.

Like most people I recommend AVG anti-virus.
The link below also has Avast & Bitdefender which are free too. 🙂
