I didn't care for Clam AV on Windows personally, but it's been a few 
years so YMMV.

I've never had any major issues with the free version of AVG.  Unless 
you go in for them, uncheck the toolbar install.

Avira is also a decent option.  Avira has a nag screen when it updates 
the virus signatures (just press "OK" and it goes away) and seems to be 
lighter on resources than AVG.  Can't speak enough about their "AnitVir 
Rescue System" which runs from a Linux LiveCD.  :)

either will do a casual Windows without their needing to go through a 
great amount of configuring.
