This makes for fun reading and while I can't say that the free solutions are bad, they're really geared toward typical home users. The commercial products offer centralized management and notifications of viruses whereas the free versions don't and they often require much more tweaking and tuning. Even a home user will make up for the difference in price fairly quickly.
Consumer Reports rates free PC security software as Best Buy: "Consumer Reports slapped a Best Buy logo on a trio of free security programs for Windows PCs, saying they are a smarter pick than suites from companies like Symantec and McAfee."
