I agree. Before I never used any AV program except the Housecall.com online scanner until one day:

After I cleared my internet history I opened Internet Explorer to Yahoo.com as my home page. When I checked my history a unknown IP address would show up along with the Yahoo.com. It turned out I was sending a file in my temp folder named "abc123.pid" to this unknown address. I went to Housecall.com online scanner to find out I was clean but I was still infected with some sort of virus. I then went to Norton's online scanner that scans and tells you what it finds but don't clean. It told me I had like 3 infections that Housecall didn't detect. After investigating the infections I found more info about what my computer was infected with. I searched for "free antivirus programs" and AVG free was first on the list. I installed AVG free and it cleaned out all the infections I had.
