You could also try MacOS X and just laugh at the whole "virus thing".

DO NOT USE AVG !!
It is really bad, the amount of viruses it lets through it unacceptable.
A better free AV is Avast, but it does require quite a bit of RAM.
I my fav is NOD32, really lite and scores really high in detecting viruses. Unfortunately its not free, but its well worth buying ! |

I agree with Avast, I am using it for years now and I never had a problem with it. Avast is better than AVG on a lot of points.

I use OS X. Whenever people talk about viruses I laugh. Although it would be possible to write one on OS X, you're only going to get it if you deliberately install something stupid.
