I have had big problems with AVG letting stuff though.
Although AVG has a slightly bette interface than Avast! I recommend Avast! simple because it finds more viruses and scans better.
Also, in conjunction use Spybot Search & Destroy. This program does more than spybots, it also picks up malware that pretty much every anti-virus misses. (Note: Spybot Search & Destroy is NOT a antivirus and should not be used on it's own).

As for where I get it from, I don't, never really seen the point in it because I had a long-term partner, and now I've only really just been dumped on my face, I don't see a point in it.
I use AVG free, I have never had a virus. I do large amounts of P2P file sharing and downloading, so I know AVG works. If it was all up in my face I would have completely removed it; it runs nicely in the background and informs you on things if you tell it to.
There is a hard debate between Avast and AVG. Personally I liked Avast better due to nicer user interface and lower CPU usage. But things are improving quickly, especially in the computer industry, so things might not be the same in a couple of weeks after this post was posted.
But in the controversy happening between free anti-viruses and paid anti-viruses, I still think free are the best out there. I have tried a couple of paid anti-viruses (downloaded pirated copies due to curiosity... oops) and thought they complicated things too much. I simply liked the free anti-virus due to the lack of features. They're simple and does the job well, just like the paid anti-viruses.

This is why you don't install two AV programs with real time protection on to one system at the same time. The performance hit will be a result of Norton spazzing out at suddenly having another AV set up to run along side it. I can assume this given that MSE has one of the smallest resource usages of any of the AV programs out there.
