It's no harm to try on Avira or any other products you like. The difference of paid and free version of a same product is just the extra functions. There's no such thing that paid version has better detection rate than free one. They are using the same engine and definition for antivirus program. smile.gif

yea it's true.

i'm using AVAST 5 free now, won't using Avira free anymore.. its failed AV to protect my pc.

previously use avira too, but chg to avast free bcos it provides more layer of protection, or i shud say more functions.
btw, avira free is gd too, but i heard quite alot of bad review on ver10 duno whether it's true, n yea, avira alot FP which caused me problem last time.

No point on having new versions keep coming out when the database contains lots of false positives. MBAM has done a great job in keep their database up-to-date almost everyday.

erm, i nvr deny MBAM is a decent piece of software but jz wondering they'r not upgrading the version bcos b4 tat they wil upgrade software version at least once a mth.

I do not like Avast! due to its high rate of false positive to me.

I forget about using bitdefender because it is very very laggy when installed in my netbook.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I may give it a try.  I did see that you recommend NOD32.  Is it a good , paid Antivirus program?  I am quite disappointing with KIS now.  It gives some false positive detection (as I use some bots and craked programs) and it is slowing down my laptop and desktop. 

I might be giving a try on Avira Free + Comodo Free firewall, what do you think?
*
tats a real great combination.
u could also try avast free too as it provide much more layer of protection compare to avira free,
n i recommend u to install malwarebytes antimalware + superantispyware too as on-demand scanner.
