Antivirus suggestions

+1 for Avira.. have been using avira for 3yrs.. nd has beeb gr8 no problem till date.. change the config to high heuristics..not tht gr8 a fan of MSE.
had installed it on my comp a couple of months back.. din like the feel of the software, has good detection of malware & virus, but takes a hell lot of time to do a thorough system scan, nd also takes time to remove the viruses..the reason why i switched back to avira was tht i started to get the blue screen of death within a month of installing MSE.. ended up reinstalling the OS.. Avira is the best.. have given u a few links below, the below site is an independent testing site for antivirus softwares... Avira scores are way better than avast & comparatively better than MSE..
please hve a go at the following links below nd decide..
(@ mods: hope it isn wrong to provide links for more info, if so, then plz do correct me thnk u)

PS: Since most of us will be using AVIRA AntiVir Premium, which is a free version, i would strongly recommend to also install Malwarebytes Antimalware (MBAM) along with avira..plz scan ur system with MBAM at least once a month.
for firewall COMODO firewall will do..
