Trend Micro PC-cillin came along with my Dell laptop...well, after a while it has stopped updating and is asking for a 1 year subscription...at $86 a pop!

With the plethoria of free anti-virus software out there, is there any real benefit to purchasing a subscription to their service, or would one be better served with one of the plethoria of free programs that exist on the market...AVG, Avira, Threatfire...would I be better of getting rid of PC-cillin in favor of one of these (or another as suggested by the forum)?
