I use Avast! Antivirus and it's awesome for me. It's not too heavy too for your system with lots of features, unless your machine's the quite old one.

I second that. I've been using it for some years now with no incompatabilities or other problems. Version 8 is now in beta3 and should be out in a few weeks.
