I keep having scan issues out of Panda. Is Avira any good? Can someone tell me about it?
I see no reason to waste money on paid AV for home usage, it is not like paid are better, quite the opposite.
Paid versions contain more junk, which only increase performance usage and offer virtually nothing in return.
Avira has a great detection and very little performance impact, I myself tend to recommend Qihoo 360 though.

I will give Qihoo360 a try, I have never heard of it, it looks good, Thanks.

Update:
It has got some nice features but it slows down the system a bit, so back to Defender![]()
Interesting, according to a performance test, it should affect it less then WD, probably depends on the system.It has got some nice features but it slows down the system a bit, so back to Defender![]()
I'm liking Comodo myself, an under the radar AV program. Tried many of the others and it is winning me over. It will pop up an allow menu quite frequently when installing software it doesn't recognize.
