I have been using Avira free for quite some time. It works relatively well, and scores extremely high in tests (at least the premium version does).

Recently, I've noticed the scheduler uses a lot of cpu randomly (20%). I don't know why as I don't have anything scheduled, and it lasts longer than an average update.

For a free AV I'm debating about going back to Avast. I wouldn't pay for an Av, especially since I'm careful enough to have not been infected in quite a while. Kaspersky is nice, but their newest version annoyed me on Vista let alone a preview for 7.
