the firewall is coming out some time after 5.0 as a suite or standalone. (and 5.0 wont be skinnable) !ot!
I Like ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 and I like AVG 8.0 Antivirus… Both are excellent detectors of bad software and they are fast! But I think AVG is faster than NOD 32…
Avira. It has has better detection rates then Avast!
If you like Detection Rates… Go for Avira. For features, Go with Avast!

Hi Guys, I’ve gone back to Rising AV Free (currently ranked 11th at Download.com)
http://www.download.com/Rising-Antivirus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10674783.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10885865
This until CAV3 is finalized, tested & proven completely effective…
Regards to all :■■■■

I’ve had problems with Avira, and I like features so I went with Avast!!
Anyway, The ones I recommend:
Free:
-Avira
-Avast!
Paid:
-NOD32
-Kaspersky
I don’t recommend AVG Anymore… Version 8 just totally turned me off it. Too bloated, Too buggy, The FREE Version is now a lot more restricted.
Off course I am keeping a sharp eye on CAV.

I agree with you on AVG…was always using up at least 20-30% of my precious CPU…But when I tried Avira it totally messed up my internet connection. I couldn’t even connect when I uninstalled it, so I had to use System Restore.
Really odd about Avira & your internet. :-\
