Avira AntiVir 10 is Out

new version is ugly as hell, but it's still my favorite security suite, so, ugly or not, I'm sticking with it (that, and the fact it's paid for lol)

Version 9 definitely looked better. This dark and shiny look is too much, but it's still a great suite.

Google the phrase "free antivirus" and the first three companies you find are AVG, avast!, and Avira, in that order. But go to free-av.com and it's Avira all the way—clever of them to snag that domain name. Avira AntiVir Personal 10 (free, direct) is a lightweight, relatively speedy anti-malware utility that's much more effective at preventing installation of known malware than it is at cleaning up existing problems.
