    Actually, just noticed that Avast and Avira are about 40mb in size whereas AVG is only a touch over 2mb. Seems strange.

    AVG 79.17MB
    AVAST 43.81MB
    AVIRA 40.32
    MSE (VISTA) 6.91MB, but large file definitions download on install.

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say try MSE, as probably the easiest option.
    Otherwise go for Avira.

    If you want a site advisor type thing, you can always add WOT (web of trust) to Firefox as an addon.
    Move along, nothing to see.
