    I and a friend have had problems with AVG in the past...
    I'm currently using Avast, but I've been hearing Avira a lot lately, so I might switch.

    I tried Norton but it lives up to its rep as being awful

    I have used AVG on 7 for some time but have now switched to Kaspersky as it offered the cheapest deal by far and has better protection with its "sandbox" features.

    But AVG ran well without major issues and I found it to be very good but expensive - Kaspersky was less than half the price with better protection - so cheap in fact it is not worth the hassle of trying to use a non-legit version.

    I'm using Avast Pro. I gave up using AVG as it became too agressive.
    I think it gives false positives and the interface wouldn't let you make your own decisions.
