I've been using AVG for years. I don't like the new 8.0 version. What
other freeware antivirus software does the group recommend. I'm considering
Avira - has anyone used it?

Avira AntiVir is the best of the freebies and is better than some paid-for
applications a
well.

It is! It's sanctioned by Avira.

I've found another way to disable the 'Nagscreen'...believe me, I am a
Lawyer!
Windows XP Home and Pro:
1.Boot into Safe Mode (tap F8 repeatedly after you restart the computer)
2.Log in using the Administrator account
3.Go to C:\Program Files\(Avira)\AntiVir PersonalEdition
Classic\avnotify.exe
4.Right-click avnotify.exe-> properties-> security-> advanced
5.Under the Permissions folder you will see all of the users. Start with
the first user¡K.
6.Edit-> Traverse Folder / Execute File-> deny-> ok
7.Now perform step 6 for all of the other users-> apply-> yes/ok-> close
all open windows
8.Reboot the computer into Normal Mode (start-> shutdown-> restart)

I hope this alleviates your legality concerns :-)

There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we
