I have used KAV in the past, and was happy with it. However, I have to watch my budget this year and am looking for a decent free AV.
What's your pick?

Try AOL Kaspersky, which is a "lite" version of KAV6 and is free for home users. Skip the optional security toolbar during installation (you'll see where you can uncheck the box).
I tried it, half-expecting to have AOL Instant Messenger and a billion AOL icons scattered across my system. But there is no extra AOL junk packaged with it (so far). It's conceivable they could send you Spam, so use your Spam email address to register.

Jnetty99, go back to the link and use a different email address and/or check your spam filter. I just now submitted one of my gmail addresses and received a code instantly.

But lets see--you are using avast---at a 87.46% detection rate---and AVG with a 82.82% detection rate. And chances are that the 10%+ not contained in current definitions overlap---so you would probably do as well with just avast-------but when you have a miss rate of .38% with AOL Kaspersky---compared to a miss rate of 12.54% with avast----thats 33 times the miss rate---maybe
you think that means nothing---but it sure does impress me.
