Paid Versions are all simliar Free Versions makes Avast on Top People have their own opinions though. They offer similar protection it's just user interface etc. Try one. If no likes, try other.

None of them.

Microsoft Security Essentials is the best free anti-virus software and NOD32 is the best paid for and overall AV software.

they both are good. Nothing is perfect, each one has its strength and weakness.
