I like avast too but you do need to configure ir to suit your usage- i had to tune the web shield off as it was slowing my browsing right down.
Most effective security suite?

I'm with Corrine...On my main Win7 rig I use Eset's NOD 32 AV 4.0...it does have Antispyware built in. I'm also running MalwareBytes (full). I also do run SUPERANTISpyware but only as an on-demand scanner. I also rely on the my Win7 Fireware along with my Hardware Firewall in my Router. I have always said, as it was taught to me when I used be be a HijackThis helper, that a layered defense was the best defense along with common sense.
On the rest of my hardware (PC's and Laptops) I'm running NOD 32 on a couple and the rest have Avast. I have run the Comodo Firewall and Antivirus Suite in the past and found them to be quite adequate.

You could take the test posted by thathagat as a starting point. Performance will vary depending on a few factors including the machine it is running on and the version of the product being used.
You are best trying out products until you find one that works well for you.
I personally find the latest Norton products to run really well on my machine.

Norton uses far less RAM than MSE.
However, unless you have a really old computer, that shouldn't be of concern.
What will cause you to notice an anti-virus these days is the CPU usage and I/O reads/writes.
For me, Norton is low on them.

Well over the years I have tried a lot of different ones. To date I have not found anything as good as Kaspersky Internet Security and it runs great on Win7
Internet Security Software 2010 for Home Computer Security - Kaspersky Lab United States
I think this will be the one I will stick with from now on
