We're a McAfee shop at work, but for cheap/free I recommend AVG. AVG Free is a great free AV product. Avast is also a close second.
Avast has a nice "scan at next boot", before Windows loads, to scan for malicious things that hide themselves when Windows is loaded.
AVG has a free, downloadable boot CD image that can be updated to the latest version before scanning your hard drive while Windows isn't loaded.
Having said that, McAfee Total Protection Suite is great for home users. And, it's easy to use - even by those who aren't horribly PC savvy.
http://free.avg.com and http://www.avg.com/ie-en/avg-rescue-cd for the AVG products.
