Any Avira users in here? I just moved to it after getting annoyed by constant popups in avast. How is it? Any good? Using the free version here.

Used to use Avira. It was hell removing the damn thing and you have to use their uninstaller.

They usually have good detection rates. I'm not sure if they still have the nag screen or not. The last I heard they added another process that ran in the background for updates and stuff.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 here. No complaints and seems pretty light weight. The browsing protections are really great.

I think Avira is nice. The popups in the free version can be annoying, but I got lucky and found a -70% deal with little bit of searching. 2 years of Avira Pro for about 15€ was nice.

And so far it has been worth it.
