Default AV software

I've been using Nortons AV for a long time now but have never been entirely happy with it and I'm looking for something new. Boxed or downloaded - I'm easy. What do you guys use? Any recommendations?

AVG free edition. Have had no regrets since dumping NAV on several PCs a few months ago.

Noticeable performance improvements.

Does AVG have script blocker, and blocks worms?

AVG free edition handles emails only.

The problem with AVG is updates are provided on a low priority basis.
