Which antivirus is the best?

It is difficult to answer the question to which one is the best antivirus. I tried several antiviruses but I was disappointed pretty fast. I used AVG antivirus, but that seemed to use a handsome amount of memory from my pc. Then I used McaFee Antivirus Enterprise version. It also showed some drawbacks. Firstly, it failed to detect some crucial viruses. Secondly, updating is a bit difficult. Another thing which is very noteworthy is that, this software requires to be bought firstly to use minimum functionality for a longer period. Though I did not use personally, a number of my friends told me that, their Kaspersky Antivirus is also not that efficient. They used the purchased version of that.

But as time passed, the number of articles reduced gradually. On February 2012, I got only 3 articles for reading and rating. The next month in March, I received only 2 articles.
