PCLive Security includes the ClamAV antivirus engine, a bi-directional firewall, and a pop-up and adware blocker.
There's also a paid version that includes technical support, hard drive maintenance, and file optimization features for $4.95 per month.
PCLive Security runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista machines. On the downside, the installation process takes forever, and once PCLive Security is up and running it seems to be a bit of a resource hog. Oh yeah, and it will try to uninstall any other anti-virus software on your PC when you run the installer.

Why hassle with it? I use Comodo firewall, AVG anti-virus, and Firefox (for popup blocker). I've never had a problem.

I bet PClive, free or not, will not work with non verified windows. So if you have a pirated copy of windows like "cough" some people i know, forget PClive.

It's a real shame this is such a resource hog. Clam AV is a great, very very light weight AV scanner. It just lacks on demand scanning and updating which this seems to provide. And Clam AV's detection record is top of its class.
