Sorry, I haven't followed this discussion, so this may be offtopic, but... If your family or friends are using Windows, then Microsoft Security Essentials is free and absolutely fantastic. Speaking from personal experience, it's far better than AVG for example. (AVG bogs down the system; Essentials manages to maintain an active scan with almost no overhead.)

I've just had absolutely no good experiences with antivirus software. I can count on my hands the number of times they blocked an actual virus in my life. And those times were way back in the days when I was young, naive and using Limewire. I've found that if you've gotten infected while following my teachings then no virus scanner would have stopped it. Most of my friends and family do use Macs however so they is not as ubiquitous antivirus software for Mac.
