Interestingly Kaspersky receives the best reveiws!
Here's one for MSE. Microsoft Security Essentials protected our PC in 85 per cent of malware exposures. Admittedly, it only completely blocked 57 of 100 viruses, but it neutralised another 28 after the process of infection had begun. In 15 cases, it failed to protect us. That's better than having no protection at all, but 15 infections is not good. It did well in our false positive tests, only blocking one legitimate program, giving it a total accuracy rating of just 223.5.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to reviews.
I installed Kaspersky on all my machines last year, and, while it may do a good job of protecting you, this comes at such expense in performance terms that I uninstalled it after a few days.
The problem with reviews is that the tests are carried out in completely artificial circumstances.

They recommend Norton very highly. For myself, my laptop came with McAFee as a recommended, but I removed that and used AVG. Have since changed to Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete.
