[QUOTE="uninfected1, post: 609991, member: 48923"] I don't do any malware testing myself so I can't really comment on that, but one thing I did notice about Avira Free when I tried it recently was how much CPU it uses when it updates, and takes several minutes to do so, and while this is happening my computer is very sluggish/freezes and can't be used for much else. On the other hand Panda only takes a few seconds to update and it has very little system impact whilst doing so. One Avira product I have hung onto though is the Browser Safety extension you mention [USER=32430]@Der.Reisende[/USER]. I've been looking for a decent replacement for WOT since I got rid of it a while back after its questionable activities, and it seems this Avira plugin is more than up to the job and actually appears to do quite a bit more. The only slight issue was it conflicted somewhat with uBlock Origin, but replacing uBO with Adguard solved the problem. [/QUOTE]
