Default OMO - free antivirus choice?

OMO, simple question.

I've used Trend Micro for a while, works well, but the subscription runs out soon. I have 3 obvious freebie options that I can see, AVG, Virgin's own offering, or Kaspersky free with Barclays. I don't know how many knobs and whistles the Virgin/Barclays versions come with.

What would be your advice, or another?

Been using Comodo free for some time, no issues. Use AVG on everything else.

AVG, I've used the free one for ages, although if you get the full version of Kaspersky, then I'd go for that

Kapersky is free if you bank with Barclays
