yes, I do. we use it here where I work and I've been using it for a long time at home (not the free version, but still..). I guess it's definitely worth giving it a try.

here's a link:

Avast! Home edition is free.

It's not annoying, autoupdates, with firewall, it has caught everything non-desired trying to get into my comp, it doesn't overload the PC and it has 64 bits support.

My favourite!
