What is the best virus protection to get for PC?

I have a PC, and I want to download or buy virus protection for it. What is the best one that will work? I've heard McCafee is good but i don't really know.

1. microsoft security essentials is free and is on your pc . start menu look it up .open follow inst.
2. If you want to buy an Anti-virus, my choice would be Malwarebytes. Can be purchased for a one time fee of $25.00, and does a great job at real time protection for virus, spyware, malware, etc.. Free version only acts as removal tool. Microsoft Security Essentials works ok for a free one. Edit: Using Malwarebytes as a supplement works great, I use Microsoft Security Essentials also. Although all of the threats (virus, spyware, malware) I have encountered were all stopped and/or removed by Malwarebytes. NOTE: It is NOT compatible with all anti-virus, AVG 2011 will not work together. http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=65622
3. I would recommend either Kaspersky (not free) or Microsoft Security Essentials (totally free): http://www.kaspersky.com/kis_latest_versions http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Edit: Malwarebytes is NOT an antivirus. It's just an antispyware but I admit that it is one of the best in that field. However, it can never be a substitute for a real antivirus. Use it to supplement any AV that you will be using.
