A recent survey indicated that the big commercial antivirus software suites are actually more vulnerable than the small or even free ones—because the ones who are big enough to be very widely known tend to have their own vulnerabilities targeted. I don't recall the source of the survey, so I can't back up the claim, and I wouldn't (didn't) accept it as gospel truth, anyway, but I do regard the argument as an indication that a lesser-known alternative may well be a reasonable way to go. (Of course, standard caution regarding what you download and whence you download it still applies, regardless of what security software you run.)
