Yes, it's an option, but so is Kaspersky.
Isn't Avira Anti now using the Kaspersky scan engine?

In the paid-for AV class, that's an excellent opinion and I'll back it.

I wouldn't use the retail versions of either. The enterprise version of
McAfee is OK, and works quite happily with SpyBot.

Thanks to everyone for responding. One last question - Does AAV have
a good firewall?

Absolutely NEITHER! Both are terrible anti virus software. If the

one of the best out there, and pretty cheap considering the two-daily
updates. Amazing.
