"Free Antivirus Software: AntiVir PE Classic: Avira AntiVir Personal Edition Classic is a virus scanner, much like AVG. This is the only function of both programs; you'll have to look elsewhere for firewall and spyware protection. For those I recommend XP's built in firewall and a combination of AdAware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy, and SpywareBlaster. But the need for online security is paramount now because with increasing broadband connections, there are more potential bad guys on the Net. I found Avira mentioned in our own PC Mechanic forums (feel free to visit it if you have not), as an alternative to AVG. I am a long-time AVG user; it is my main antivirus program used on my computers. While free, it lives up its reputation as an excellent antivirus program in my experience. So when Avira popped up I wanted to see for myself how the two compared. Besides the scanning results, I'll also touch on extras and Avira's usability." ~pcmech.com
