Reformatted this computer with W7 back in February and Avira 10
wouldn't auto update. Tried it again last month and it still wouldn't
update. So, I'm still using Avira 9.

I dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7 and have Avira 10 in both installs. I
use XP most all the time, but the few times I go into Windows 7, Avira
updates itself during the first few minutes.
Windows 7 has Vista all beat to hell, but I still have software and
hardware issues. My computer is Windows 7 compatible but *I'm* not quite
yet... :-)

I have always had problems getting AntiVir to update when I have used
it in the past. I have been going with Avast for a couple years now
and like it.

I hate Avast! because it looks like a car stereo and not very user
friendly unless they have changed it since I last tried it many yrs
ago.

I have no problems with Avira updating, most of the time. When there is no
internet connection, it does give an error, but I believe that is normal.

ESET NOD32 V4

I use it, many I know in the security community use it, I support it.

Of all of the systems I've cleaned up over the last year or so, roughly
40% of them were running McAfee when they became infected. Not that any AV
solution is 100% perfect, but McAfee seems to be less effective than even
some of the free AV programs.
For what it's worth, Avira's Anti-Vir or Avast are the two I recommend if
you are looking for a free AV program. Antivir is the more effective of the
two, but Avast is more user friendly for newbies to deal with.
For my own systems, I recommend ESET's NOD32 to my commercial customers
and/or those looking for a "pay" AV solution. It's also what I have on my
own systems.

Microsoft updates every eight hours, Avast! updates every four hours
and it is FREE. Avira's Anti-Vir has excellent detection but the update
server is generally known to be slow.

There were problems there for a while, But I've had no problem with slow
updates for months now.
