Which free antivirus is better?

Hello mike.

For me it is a tossup between Avira Antivir Personal and Avast! Free Antivirus.  Both are equally suitable for your laptop because both use only a small amount of memory and are not CPU intensive.  During on-demand scanning, both can scan fast and does not slow down your system.  Avira has the advantage of having the highest detection rate among all free antiviruses meaning it detects the most number of viruses.  Avast! has a slightly lower detection rate but it still remains popular due to its quick updates, nice user interface and multiple modules for protection such as E-mail, P2P, Web, Behavior, Script, etc.  Avira has a nag screen every time it updates and updates take a long time.

Like the above poster said, it will all boil down to what you prefer.  Give both a try but be sure to uninstall one first before installing the other.  It is never a good idea to use 2 antivirus solutions simultaneously.
