Free Anti-Virus downloads

Does anyone recommend any particular free anti-virus programs? I'm thinking about ESET, AVAST, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Windows Defender.
I would like one which automatically scans and updates, but which allows a manual scan and update whenever I want to.
I was using the free version of Commodo, but it will no longer allow a Full Scan, only the Quick Scan.

If your on Win 7 or 8 Microsoft Security essentials is more than enough for the average user.

Second for Microsoft Security Essentials. I believe it is actually built into Win 8. Pair it with regular scans with malwarebytes.
