Checking www.av-comparatives.org , I would say that AVG or free solutions
are better than none, but don't have as high a detection rate as the big
companys' products.
If you must go for something free, I'd recommend Avast! Home Edition since
it has that awesome kernel mode scan.

I just tested the same PC before and after installation of Norton AV
2006. In open documents, speed tests on the net, playing games, there
was no noticeable performance difference.

Once I got rid of Norton AV 2005, my paging file usage went down
dramatically.
I find a noticable difference in overall performance of my computer.
