Avast is very good. Found stuff AVG hadn't too.

My mate recommended me downloading a program called Comodo (google it)

Its both an anti-virus and firewall, and completely free.

I've only been using it one day so far, so can't comment much, but so far so good Thumbs Up

The Avast user interface is a nightmare. I use Avira Antivir.

If you use Comodo firewall remember to turn off Defense+ as its a royal PITA1

Another Avast user here. Don't like AVG as it really slows the computer down whenever it updates (which it insists on doing every time I start up - or did, until I uninstalled the bastard! Twisted Evil )
