I Rocky,
I use it on people that want free AV. I think it's better than AVG or Avast
which are the other two big free AVs. Avira offers a number of things that
are quite impressive for a free AV. It includes anti-malware and an
anti-rootkit capability that work quite well. I compared its overall
resource use against Vipre, which is currently the lowest resource consumer
for full protection and it is about 3 times higher. That is still in the
pack though compared to other AVs. If someone won't spend the $30 for Vipre,
I recommend it.
