I get what you're saying, but anti-virus is something I don't believe in paying for. I personally just don't feel that anyone should profit from viruses. What incentive do they have to really fight them, then? I know a lot of people rave about Kaspersky, but when I tried it, I got several false positives, it slowed my web browsing to a crawl, and blocked me from playing YouTube and other embedded videos. So away it went. False positives was the whole reason I was looking for a replacement to Avast in the first place. So far, Avira has been very good while using minimal system resources.
