    no fan of avast

    most people only need the likes of MSE

    and it is free.

    or buy malwarebytes and run clamwin weekly

    MSE instead now (and malwarebytes)

    the playing field constantly moves

    what is good in one version can be crap in the next

    imho best pay one at the moment is kaspersky 2012

    but many say bitdefender is, but i have seen too many conflicts with it..

    for the home user malwarebytes pro and clamwin is hard to beat at the moment as well

    but malwarebytes can be problematic on some boxes so try the free trial first
