Feels like Version 10 only just came out to me. So I'm hoping it's a little ways away or at least doesn't require a full on download and just an update.

I had a problem with the process responsible for displaying notifications (when malware is found) not starting after an update. I don't like the scanner that runs every time Avira Antivir Free finds something (I would like that scanner to start only when a relevant piece of malware is found, but when I used avira it even started after the eicar test file was discovered). Because at that time Avast 5 Free introduced interesting new features (and a usable interface) I switched to it. Still, Avira has better detection (and heuristics) according to av-comparatives tests (Note: The tests used Avira's heuristics on High and the detection of packed executables was disabled, maybe users should use the same settings).

I stuck with Avira for almost two years. It protected my PC very well, but it seemed to start dragging it down a little so I switched to Avast. Avira is still a top of the line AV though.
Some of complained of its tendency to false positives. That said, I used to remove said false positives just for the heck of it. I had no adverse effects as a result on any occasion.

Me too. Avast seems to have the upper hand right now. If they did not, I would not tolerate their product. I have a lot of expectations for the limited security that I run, though it is all freeware.

They lost many users when they released ask toolbar. Now you can install without it but the harm is already done.
A fool with an antivirus tool is still a fool.
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
The last thing I want to do is insult you. But it IS on the list.

They gave 18 months of Avira SS to facebook users.
