    Looking at those tests, of the 3 freebies, Avast and Avira appear slightly more effective than AVG ( though AV-test reverses that puttig Avira ahead of AVG ahead of Avast!).

    Avast appears to have the least impact on normal performance.

    Tricky (and confusing) decision but I'm going to stick with Avast.

    Thanks for the links!

    been using AVG for years but unsure how effective it really is, and definitely slowing performance. Messes up RAM and Flash videos loading, always wanting to nearly crash system when any embedded code come on

    Some time ago I used Avast, but wasn't satisfied with it. Today my choice is the combination of NOD32 and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - their overall performance is good enough.

    Also the Google Chrome Incognito Window is useful if you require security online.
    I love travelling :A

    I think you need to read up on what that does - it's a privacy feature not a security feature.
