Blah,Blah Blah Rudolph. I would rather spend $20 on Avira Premium then keep Avast free. I still have a valid license for NOD32 but it was locking up my games. Avast 4.7 was good but something is screwy with Avast 4.8. Web pages wont load. My pc boot is slower on both my machines. Avira free is junk I admit that. I cant wait for Avira 8 to be released with its web guard.

I wouldn't buy the VSmart warranty version of CFP.  Simple reason is that if you are concerned about security, over the course of using these tools you will learn to recognize and fix problems yourself, with the (free) help of the forum here and for your other products.  V-Smart doesn't fix your wormed disk or get back your compromised personal data; it is a "too late and too little" as far as I am concerned.  There will be endless debates about the antivirus percentages, but avast! is very good and very up to date-certainly is the least intrusive of any I have tried, and does automatic updates at least once a day.  Now does spyware and rootkits too.  I have tried antivir and avg (along with the dreaded Norton and McAfee ) and don't like the way they play on my system as well, although they seem to be excellent products.  What are you doing that makes you want to pile on security software?  A little time spent with the more useful tools would not slow down your computer and would help you be more comfortable on the internet.

I have a simple philosophy : You don't have to pay for good pc security ( Although I have some licences from security app's too for testing purposes ) But I don't think Avira Free is junk, and I don't have your experiences with Avast! 4.8

Avira free is better than any paid AV ('xcept for Avira paid, that is).

You don't need the paid version, though (Reasonable layered protection is always better than any "suite" out there)
