what would you guys recommend?
i had norton virus but i had problems getting updates
AntiVir Personal Edition. Free and good.
You could also check out avast!. (Yeah, the capitalization and exclamation mark are theirs.) Also free, and has treated me well for over a year now.
If you're looking for an excellent and free anti-virus, Avast! is for you. The only problem I can find it is the scanning speed which is insanely slow.
However if you are willing pay for the best anti-virus out there, Kaspersky, with its updates every 3-4 hours and its incredibly fast scanning speed is simply the best anti-virus there is.
I'd also recommend AVG, which is also free and useful.
Oh, has anyone ever seen this? Insanely useful little online virus checker for when you're in a hurry or have limited resources available to you.

My favourite is NOD32. it's got everything you need and more.
I Try NOD32. ;D
i can recommend http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable - especially when you don't want to lose performance. it's a simple but efficient on-demand scanner, no silly realtime-services
ive been using NOD32 for a while now too. it doesnt hog your resources like the rest do
