Ok I have license key of Quickheal and Avast IS. So which one should I use. I would really like comments from users who have used Quickheal. Also I will install SAS pro alongside quickheal. Also can you recommend a free HIPS/ Anti keylogger software.

Umbra is clearcloud provided with Vipre? I have never seen an option for clearcloud. Any way installing Vipre.
After seeing review by Biozfear I think vipre will be best choice for you
Vipre have lots of good features and detection rate is very-very good.
The only issue is False positive sometimes

Avast does have a little slowdown. Should I stay with it or go with Vipre. Serious opinion. Pls also include why do you want me to pick a particular option.

Their HIPS was a bit of a pain but nothing I couldn't handle.

They still didn't improve much on their second revision. I suppose I could do a video test on VIPRE or do it along with a text based review.

Lets see.

Nope Gdata is far bigger. Even Trustport beats it with 2MBs. A decent firewall. Nothing great. I seriously suspect that it has a firewall or not. Stranger just dont bash any AV products. Its not a third grade crap. It has been tested and awarded by ICSA and VB100. It is also recommended by MS.

very light on system

but its firewall,I still maintain I haven't seen such poor firewall in my life not even 5-7 years back

quickheal av/antimalware have good detection rate
very light on system

Test and awards I can understand but then we have several issues at hand.
On my review, I used malware packs of 26th and 27th of July. Test was conducted on the 29th of July. Detection rate was rather poor.
Apparent system slowdowns upon launching applications was witnessed on the machine.
Not so sure about being light either. It ain't heavy but it ain't light either.
As for the good detection rate Stranger refers to: Are we speaking globally or regionally?

As for the firewall, like I said, it felt like it didn't exist.

Nevertheless it does have potential for other regions, but they need to make some improvements.

Not bashing the product, but just my opinion based on the observations made during the test and the previous test runs.
