I'd also like to see some reputable website's review of NOD32, or of any of the antivirus programs listed here; please post links if you find them!
EDIT: I need to do a little more research, but i dredged this up pretty quickly

They say that the best free antivirus is Avira AntiVir; however, i have never used it and am reluctant to switch from Microsoft's professional antivirus (i get it for free) to it.
At this point, my need for a thorough antivirus protection is minimal; i mostly need something for that "Just in case" or if someone else's files are contaminated. I think McAfee and Norton both seem like overkill.

NOD32 x64, if only cuz I use it and it's worked perfectly with Windows 7 x64.

I use AVG Free on my computer and Avast on my wife's laptop. I like them both because they are free. And we are pretty safe web surfers...so it hasn't been a problem if they don't catch everything (because neither do we).

Hello gamepro, i guess you'rei in a misconception that Norton uses just 6 MB. Open taskmgr and click "Show processes From All Users". Now check how Norton is eating RAM in breakfast, unch and dinner. :)

eset NOD32 has consistently proven itself as the best av software available. it has recieved Virus Bulletin's VB100 logo in all but 3 tests since 1998. Norton failed the most recent test and was not awarded with their logo. Kaspersky has failed 17 times. Avast has failed 23 times. No software has passed more times than NOD32.
