    tried a lot of them Jon (home and commercial basis) and i would say all three you listed are fine. I like the way MS essentials ties in with the operating system, AVG did have some issues in 2012 (who doesnt now a days) and Avast is also very good.
    Your call mate!

    Edit: The important thing is to ensure it's up-to-date.

      MS Essentials is however one of the best for win7 PC's.
      I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

      If you spot any spammers, AE's, abusive or libellous posts or anything else that just doesn't feel right then please report them to me as soon as you spot them at: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk
