ive been using the computer associates EZ trust free for a year deal b/w CA and MS.
i personally like it more than AVG.

AVG for me, no problems, fast and doesnt slow down the computer

Just so you have more choices, I think Panda and avast! are free as well. I haven't used them extensively so I can't give my personal experiences. I played around with avast! for a little bit and found it to be really slow. AVG is also a decent scanner. Hope this helps.

panda is resource heavy and I"m sure its not free.

I personally use Panda, which isnt free (although they have a free online scanner)... I find it NOT to be a resource hog. Norton is horrid when it comes to resource usage.

CA's EZ Trust AV his known to be pretty weak in virus detection. With them, youre pretty much getting what you pay for.

AVG tends to be the favorite among free AV's on the net. Id use it myself if I wasnt pleased with my Panda.
