well its free, small foot print (not the smallest) and with auto update (not like AVG where you must update the virus defintion manually right?) pls correct me if i am wrong.
other than that, the interface and settings makes me feels like im using symantec.

I prefer to update it manually..

I've heard good words about AVG especially since it's free. But I'm using Symantec AV now both at work and home.
