Eth is right ... we'll never agree - rubbish ;-)
seriously
It depends on your habits ...free is eithe complete rubbish ... or a cut-down version of a decent package
(having said that - the comercial version of avg gets pretty grim reviews as well;(
free tends to be worth every penny - better than nowt (which is what it's worth) - but only just
if you bank and go where no vicar would go ... I'd say a bought all in one package is a better bet
