I agree with Rick. I liked AVG version 7. But after fighting with AVG 8 for a while I decided to dump it. I'm now using ESET. I'm undecided on ESET at the moment. Today I had it fire up some type of scan and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to stop it. I REALLY needed to get some work done and it was dragging my system to its knees. To be fair .. a Windows update had also just occurred so the culprit could likely be MSFT!
