Hating on AVG antivirus/firewall (internet security)
wraith808:
The Windows Firewall is good and doesn't demand much resources. It's interface isn't that great, but there are solutions for that as well.

Malware yes just bought it, so not sure of the future of it.

That short-term is my worry.
YannickDa:
Well, i was absolutely in the same case as Mouser.
I couldn't stand the intrusive behaviour of AV software anymore;
so i went to search for something really different and found this :
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus
I went for the "Gamer" version and since i've installed it, i am very (and i mean VERY) happy with it.
anandcoral:
Well after using AVG Free for more than 10 years and always vouching for its benefits, I finally uninstalled it few months ago.
I ignored the intrusive behavior, taking away window focus, random popup message etc. as it is a free product. But when it started locking my exe and dll (which I developed), I had enough.
I rely on Windows Defender now.

Anand
