Since I now have a new computer, it came with OneCare but I'm a bit dubious about it because I've heard a few bad things about it (Not good detection rates. etc) and wanting to replace it.

I've used avast free for years on my other laptop and had no problems, but it did let a lot of spyware and rootkits get past it.
I have a Mcafee 2009 key free from my broadband, but I haven't used it at all and don't really know what its like. Then I have a spare norton 360 disk+key from my other laptop but never used that.

& then theres free anti viruses which I don't really have great knowledge about. I'm just after something that doesn't hog and take over my entire system but gives decent protection. If someone could suggest one or something it would be great!

Thanks :)
