AVG isn't behind....it is one of the most commonly used free anti virus and updates are released all the time to fix issues and update the virus vault. Don't go by fanboism just google the names of the ones recommend and see which one fits your needs most. :)

[QUOTE="metaltoiletry"] Avira has the best detection rate. Avast! is a little bit behind Avira, and AVG is waaay behind either of those two. You have to do some editing to Avira's default config to make its popup notifications go away, though.

You didn't hear about AVG putting important files from System32 in quarrentine causing the OS not to boot not that long ago? Detection rates are pretty bad as well.

Avira by far.

Maybe you should do a little research before calling people "fanboys" or whatever. They update Norton alot too but that dosen't make it a good antivirus, exept for Norton 2009 since I've been hearing good things.

I used to use AVG, but I switched to Avira about a year ago and have had great luck with it. Especially considering all the crazy porn I surf.

Avast....use to use AVG but found out that it lets ALOT of viruses through...

I use Avira on my laptop and AVG on my comp. Both work well for me, AVG on my comp gives me AV, Anti-Spyware and real time protection, but I use spyware terminator and avira together on my laptop.

Avast, just re install it when trial runs out :PRobboElRobbo

AVG is bloated and slows your PC down.

The best free ones are Avira and Avast!

Avira, nice and light on ur resources

Avast is a bit of a memory and CPU hog, but it is perfect in every other way. Of course, if you dare to spend a little cache on the best, get the Russian Kaspersky. It is the best antivirus at present (along with NOD32, of course).
