Tried to search but you know the story LOL

So what is the current feeling towards the best AV out there.

I had CA Anti-Virus because it came on my computer but it let me down so I have gone to AVG free, is there others I should look at, Nod32 and Kaspersky seem to be highly rated but in Aus dollars they are on the expensive side and I was hoping something a bit easier on the wallet might be out there that I havn't heard about.
