What is the best anti-virus software?

My system is buggy as all hell and I need a good anti-virus program. I have run Avast! and Threatfire and they have helped a little but I still have many problems. Where do I find the best software? Free if possible.

Opps! I saw the computer thread at the top of the page after posting. Please close this thread.
