AVG antivirusfor my Windows 7 works very smooth
http://download.cnet.com/windows/antivirus-software/ ---- here is the list of all good anti virus with editor or user ratings & some are free
ESET NOD32 works really well, and s still one of the nest AV products out there. Not Free, but well worth the money.
AVG is a good second choice if you don't want to spend money.

:D Let the festivities begin! Just a heads up, each of us has a different reason we prefer a specific product, and everyone will have an opinion on which one is better. So enjoy the read that should undoubtedly follow. :D
To answer your question :
There is no real "best solution" - each AV has pluses and minuses. Kapersky however is considered one of the best around. However, I personally use AVG 9 Internet Security and in combination with MalwareBytes AntiMalware, its kept my system squeaky clean for a long while.
A professional review of the options is here : http://www.passmark.com/benchmark-reports/index.htm
And also with simpler graphs here : http://www.av-comparatives.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=139&Itemid=164
Good luck making your choice!

I agree with davidlevans13 above... MSSE works well, is easy to configure, and has a low system load...
I would AVOID McAfee and Norton, since they typically cause more problems than they cure for most users: high system loads, many false-positives, and intrusinve methods make the user experience frustrating.
You also neglect to mention if this will be a single, isolated PC or part of an enterprise network. I suspect the former, which reinforces my response. In a network managed enterprise, where "IT guys" support the AV solution, I might give a different answer!
