   I don't not what's worse, this poor detecting and intrusive anti-virus or fileforums new look. The colours are nice but the layout and lame gnome looking stars aren't(on the site that is)
   
   From my experience trying different AV programs
   Avira is the best free option and NOD32 the best pay one

   AVG FAQ #1574: False positive "user32.dll"
   
   "In case you are not able to run your Windows XP operating system after AVG virus definition update, it may be caused by a false positive on a specific "user32.dll" system file. The file was moved to the AVG Virus Vault and deleted. Therefore it is not possible to start Windows."

   I was a AVG guy for a long time - when v8 came out it kille dmy system constantly 100% CPU and seemed like they went nuts and added all kinda BLOAT crap to it. I agree with the other guy; 8 is not a upgrade to 7.5... For that reason I left them...

   The best free anti-virus you can find right now (i know, this one is shareware).
   
   AVIRA has a better detection rate but is really poor when removing threats. It just can't repair anything. It removes files instead and only if they're not running. AVIRA can't do something as simple as reboot to remove files.
   
   The AVG developers team should work on the resident scanner right now. Make it less cpu intensive and avoid locking file while scanning.

   ok, yes NOD32 is the best by far, but this was the best "free" av for alongggg time!!!
   
   but now, Avira blows it away.. boot time much faster!!
