I agree with this.
Avg and Kaspersky are more likely to slow your pc down

Avast as it does not slow your computer down like AVG.

I run Ubuntu. Not many viruses are written to attack it

^^ what he said 
Also, the Avast free home edition updates itself, so when you go online, it updates......

while it is true it will run faster than avg it won't stop you getting some virus (tested personally)
avg is still the best free anti virus imo

Microsoft Security Essentials for me. Very low maintenance and doesn't slow everything down like all the others I've tried.

+1 for Avast. I started using AVG after getting annoyed with SAV's poor performance, but ended up running Malwarebytes on a regular basis
because its adware / spyware protection was so poor. Had no probs since installing Avast. It seems to check all content and prevents the browser from
opening anything suspect until you confirm. Bit more confidence-inspiring...
