Re: Which Antivirus should I install....
For home use Avast home edition is perfect. Low on system resource , no nags or remainders, almost regular updates and very quickly updated. Installation and uninstallation is breeze. Get latest version frm www.avast.com. and it is blue.

Re: Which Antivirus should I install....
well if u are ready to pay then: kaspersky. if u want a free antivirus almost as powerful as kav then AOL active shield. create an email id to be used as registration mail id for aol (thats coz once u register u get ads from aol). but the anti virus is top notch and moreever its free (only requires u to register giving an email id).
nod32 is again a great av.. but again its paid.

Re: Which Antivirus should I install....
Paid av "NOD32". I'm using it and its gr8. MeraWindows monthly poll also got the most votes for NOD32. 
In free, avast!, AVG and AOL Active Shield are good.

Re: Which Antivirus should I install....
^^ Yep. Its not a good idea to use more than one anti-virus in system. They can conflict with each other and can make the system slow.
If u want freeware, then go for avast! or AVG or AOL Active Shield. All r good.
In paid, go for NOD32.
