If you are looking for a new free antivirus for your system, you should give a try to "Panda Cloud Antivirus" which is absolutely free and light-weighted antivirus.
"Panda Cloud Antivirus" is based on new cloud computing concept in which services are provided over Internet. This new antivirus scans files through Internet which makes it very light on system resources. It also doesn't need regular updating of virus definitions as it automatically updates the virus definitions in the cloud (remote server) and scans your files using those latest virus definitions.
You should have a good speed Internet connection to fully utilize this new cloud based antivirus otherwise it won't work. Don't worry, if you are offline, it'll still protect your system from virus attack as it stores the virus definitions in local cache as well.
It was under beta testing since 7 months and now the final version 1.0 has been released which can be downloaded using following link:
It can be used in Windows XP, Vista and 7. Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions are supported.

While I like the cloud computing concept I still think Microsoft's Security Essentials should be used by everyone!..

I would stick with Panda instead ^^
even though I like MSEs UI a lot more.
Chad
Is Microsoft's anti virus compatible with this?

Why are my comments never approved? I suggested that people keep MSE although Panda's Cloud Idea is neat..
Bob
Does this have the features Avast! has- like web shield/ website scanning?
Hao Zhang
Can I use this with Avast at the same time? I don't wanna uninstall my trusty Avast

Until everyone can have access to high speed internet, I feel like cloud-based apps are not practical. Although all of the high speed unencrypted wireless signals floating around my neighborhood give me access to high speed lol. But at this point, everyone isn't so fortunate. I recommend MSE.... it is the only piece of security software that rode out my Windows 7 upgrade successfully and it has successfully caught intrusions that OnlineArmor's Program Guard did not catch. Good stuff.
