You'll change your mind if you give it a shot. When I first saw it I was looking to change it back to the original way but the new version is quick, painless, and makes things more efficient.

First I've heard of this. link? Or did you personally have an issue?

Generally AV-Comparatives is the most trusted source for anti virus testing. These are their results:
http://www.av-comparatives.org...ndret/avc_report21.pdf

Avira - 99.7%
Avast - 98.2%
AVG - 93.0%

AVG is also significantly more resource demanding than Avast or Avira. There's no reason to choose AVG anymore, it's the slowest and has the worst detection out of all three.

You can see their performance testing here:
http://www.av-comparatives.org...nce/performance08a.pdf

and this is why NOD is king. pay for it and you get great protection + speed

I have the Recycle Bin icon and one game icon on the desktop, absolutely nothing else. The desktop background is set to slideshow, and fuck the babe thread rules!

If you noticed, I did that on mine. I also added the Quick Launch taskbar, which is not usually available.
If you want it, let me know.

I hate AVG Free 8... the "please buy me!" pop-up ads drove me nuts!
Avira's nag screens drove me back to AVG.

I forget why I didn't like Avast.

Not sure why you wouldn't like avast either, unless you were just turned off by the fact that you had to register it.
