The only open source antivirus sofware I know of is http://www.clamwin.com/
On the other hand did you mean free? There is a big difference

If you mean free, then I've usually recommended AVG or Avast! in the past. Currently Avast! has the edge IMO but you'll find fanbois for every bit of software going ;-) These days, I'd personally just use the Microsoft one as mentioned above. When my Eset NOD32 licences are up for renewal I'll probably switch some machines to MSE.

AVG Free will suffice, and I usually back this up with manual scans using Malwarebytes every now and again.
One thing though, none of these FREE options are intended for business use, and you are breaking their licensing if you do use them so.
I was beginning to like Kaspersky but the 2010 version made me want to throw a PC through the window, so I'm back off it again

Yes, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest.
It's the same reasoning as mounting /tmp noexec, nosuid to protect a webserver. Whether that's achievable in Windows is a different question.
OT: I've just checked our samovar and can't see "Nestles" on it anywhere.

I used to use Norton exclusively and in fact still have NIS on one newish machine (purely because it was pre-installed - it will be replaced soon) but moved to the products below a couple of years ago.
Since I am new to the forum (very, actually - first post), I can't post links so you may want to have a look at Avira dot com and Comodo dot com.
Avira and Comodo are free (paid versions are available which I have never tried) but they have a pretty steep learning curve. However, once you get the hang of their hang-ups, their detection and zapping skills are far superior.
Hope this helps.
