recently was infected with a nasty trojen, luckily i got rid of it. I am now looking for a new free virus protection. From my research i have found the three major players are Avast! Avira and AVG. i was wondering which is better overall. Ty

I'd go with Avast

Delete your other thread. D:
(Also, Avast.)
EDIT:
Didn't see Avira as a choice. That. Avast is a little bitchy, and I don't like the GUI.

AVG: used to be good, but now sucks
Avast: Had to once use it for Vista 64bit. Feels slow when scanning, not responsive/nags alot when a virus is detected.
Avira: Currently the best free AV out there

I go for Avira

btw. the poll is screwed up

Avast kind of freaks out when it finds something suspicious. Oh, and when you're scanning, as kls85 said, the program hangs. Oh, and its skin looks like something a ten-year old would think is kickass (metallic-looking lameness).

Well I actually had Avast once and it was very satisfactory... of course
NOD32 is better if not the best... but I liked Avast I'd say go with it.

Avira by far.

Out of the three, my vote goes to Avira. AVG just plain sucks with handling most viruses, and like others have stated, Avast's GUI isn't good, although it might perform similarly as Avira does in terms of detection rates.

You might want to give NOD32 4. It's currently in public beta, so it's free for use, until the license expires in 3 months.

avast! is the best scanner.
AVG has the best protection.
Never heard of Avira.

Avast is the best period...
Except MAYBE Nod32.
Depending if everyone was saying the truth on my AV thread...

Eh, I had Avira.. was very annoying and didn't like it much, I just downloaded NOD32 today. Seems pretty good and easily customizable.

NOD32 has nothing to do with this discussion. >:
