u know what i love are the ppl who rate avast and avg over antivir. its funny because neither avg or avast has as good a detection rate as antivir ((avg is rated poorest anti-virus around)). neither avast or avg scan as quickly either.
so basically choosing avg would be saying, "i dont need as much protection as possible. i dont even mind viruses"
choosing avast is saying "i dont mind the slow scans, and the nag during updating."
i love the ppl who say "well antivir has too many false positives". ok so its better that an antivirus misses some viruses then it detect something as "generic"? common sense would tell you that the generic is prolly not a virus rather an application running that isnt in the database yet. better safe than sorry, choosing the other 2 is saying "better sorry, than safe".
and to the dumb a** who calls antivir's pop-up as adware, its not. its part of the program itself. adware is a malicious code installed, moving banners ((ie what windows live messenger has)), or products that install or ask to be installed from other companies ((ie trillian with the optional tool bars)). also not all adware will hurt your pc, i dont see ppl complain much about windows live messenger, i dont see them complaining about trillian. both advertise or have optional installation of third-party products.

"Javascripts will be checked when they enter the PC into the caches. Sometimes the simplest approach for scanners is still the best."
Uh... You either didn't read or didn't understand comeoffit's remarks. Malicious JavaScript will not be scanned before it is rendered in the browser, unless there is a HTTP scanner in place. This means that unless you have an HTTP scanner in use, malicious content (not just JavaScript) can hit your browser. Just look at how many JavaScript and other content-related vulnerabilities the browsers (including Firefox) have had over the years to see why this matters.

Impacts very little performance of my system. Scans are faily quick and the interface is easy to use. It is frequently updated and third-party tests show that it has a very good detection rate. The only downside of the free version of Antivir is that when it updates it opens a popup recommending other products from the same company. A small trade-off for free software! 5/5
