I have used Avast! for several years now without a problem and installed it onto some of my aunts/uncles/cousins pc's when they complained of problems. No complaints at all, infact my uncle was so happy with the product he ended up buying the pro version.
If your PC is already infected I would recommend attempting to fix it first with
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software. It is the best software I have found so far for removing infections.
My only other recommendation if you have infection problems is to make sure you keep all your software, including windows, up to date at all times, and of course, never open suspicious emails, and never use limewire type programs. If there is one common denominator to the infected PC's that I have cleaned over the years, it would have to be that limewire was installed on every one of them.
