    Bitdefender Free is useless without 24/7 internet connection & the paid version has bugs which have not been fixed from a few years....is Avast compatible with Windows 8.1 yet? o_O

    AFAIK the latest Beta from Avast should work with Windows 8.1.

    Is avast! that bad? If I (for some unforeseen reason; I use nothing) ever had to acquire antivirus, I usually go with avast!, didn't find it too bad at all.

    the data.dat and tokens.dat are in the %windir%\system32\spp\store\2.0 folder instead of the %windir%\system32\spp\store folder
    Just copy the 2 files and tuck them away someplace safe.
    data.dat is hidden by default so turn in hidden file view
