Forget reviews.
AV-Test (Andreas Marx - Germany)

AV-Comparatives (Andreas Clementi - Austria)

Food for thought (Eugene Kaspersky)
(http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=174405517)
Around here,
Free: AVS, AVG, Avast!, AntiVir
Paid: KAV, NOD32
Bottom of the List: Norton, McAfee
The knock against NAV and McAfee is due to bias (they're the big guys)
and issues not related to detection rates. Note that these assessments
are for AV apps for Home/SOHO/personal use. The same may or may not be
said about the enterprise or corporate editions.
KAV - Kaspersky Labs
(http://www.kaspersky.com/us/products)
NOD32 - Eset
(http://www.nod32-av.com/products/products.htm)
Active Virus Shield - Kaspersky Labs, freeware courtesy of AOL
(http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp)
Do NOT install the AOL/Security toolbar, most people consider it to be
spyware.
AVG - Grisoft
(http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1)
Avast! - ALWIL Software
(http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html)
AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
