I used to run the free programme "AntiVir" for a few years, till it caught a virus I couldnt for the life of me get rid off. After I set up my whole system again, I was going with a trial version of Norton AntiVirus 2005, which works pretty well so far, but this month the trial time runs out, and I'd have to buy a 12 month subscription for ~45€.

My question is:
What are your experiences regarding anti-virus-programmes? Are there any free ones that keep your computer clean (AntiVir obviously couldnt lol), or is it worth to subscribe to a paid service, for the sake of your computer?
If so, would it be a good idea to subscribe to Norton for a year, or did you make negative experiences with them/know a cheaper solution that works as good or better?
