Re: which anti-visus to purchase ?
Kaspersky FTW !!
just check out what type of software you want ... Kaspersky Anti Virus or Kaspersky Internet security...
IMO, Kaspersky Internet security should be the best option !

Re: which anti-visus to purchase ?
it totally depends on ur usage.
U r not explaining wat do u men by HOME USE. As soon as ur PC is connected to internet, u r open to all those virus, trojan, worms etc.
If only mails, orkut and NO warez site is ur primary motto. Go for a free solution.
AVG8+Komodo Firewall would do ur job without spending any money.

Re: which anti-visus to purchase ?
Why would onw want to purchase an antivirus? 
Use Avira Antivir + Comodo Personal Firewall + Lavasoft antispyware.

Re: which anti-visus to purchase ?
My opinion : Quick Heal is total crap. Norton 09 isnt bad, but it automatically gets rid of anything it thinks is a virus. That drives me nuts. My choice would be Kaspersky.
Anyway, all AV related discusisons should go here.
