We used to recommend AVG for student computers here (network policy requires "some"
A/V), but it's footprint kept getting larger and it's detection rate kept getting
smaller.  We now recommend MSE.

For campus-owned computers we have gone from Symantec to McAfee to Microsoft Forefront
(covered by enterprise MS CAL licensing).

At home I've been using Sunbelt's VIPRE (had discussion with some of their techs at a
security conference, plus they're fairly active in the research circles), you can get a
"home license" for all your computers.  One of the boys managed to get TDSS (64-bit Win7
no less), but other than that it has been fairly effective or we've been rather lucky.
