    Avast is great. I installed it for someone after finding a ton of malware on his computer. Apparently, its rated higher than AVG and Avira.

    Be careful on which software you download for form fill-in. There was a popular spyware program years ago that did form fill-in while stealing private information.

        I use since many years Avira AntiVir Personal (free) and has found the viruses coming in mails/internet. Sometimes I check the HD in other computers with premium antivirus softwares, but they did not find anything yet.
        So seems that the free version also makes its job.

            Same reason why I switched back to AVast.

            AVG tended to load slower on my laptop same with Norton.

                    I've used AVG free for 3 or 4 years now. One of my PCs has had a couple of viruses in that time but the other has remained virus free.

                        AVG is the best

                        I love AVG coz it is free and easy to switch off when try to get some crack working and so far no virus court upon me. I don't visit nude stuff but be honest if you get court on a really s***t site there is no antivirus which really able to protect you anyway.

                          I'm using a 3 year subscription to Norton Internet Security which I bought off ebay for only ?8 several months ago. Great no problems at all and it doesn't slow my laptop.

                            Try Microsoft Security Essentials - it's free, and in my experience seems a little faster than AVG. I switched to MSSE after AVG missed a virus on my machine.

                              +1 MSSE is free and has a low footprint ..excellent
                              Avg is the biggest pile of PC AV crap going ,along with Mcaffe and Norton...those users who
                              use it are totaly deluded..
