First, please understand any grammatical errors since I'm a foriegn student

Since I could not solve the problem with VSE8.5 freezing the computer upon on startup, I just decided myself to seek an alternative antivirus/firewall. I treid F-Secure Internet Security Suite 8, but it was very heavy on resource, anyway...

Avira Antivir Personal 9 is completely FREE when used for personal or home purpose. My review:

The first impression was an well-organized and simple graphical user interface which I got used to it within five minutes of use. Even though it's free of charge, it features on-access scanning BUT, it is
very slow, it takes some time to scan a file. Secondly, I wasn't expecting a performance like I got from VSE8.5 but the on-demand scanning was not bad at all. The OAS (on-access scanning) also gives users to what to include and what to exclude - this was nice since I exclude document, music, movie and Finale Score sheet files - which reduces the scanning time approximately 2 hours. But if dont want it, it's your choice

On resource, I was little bit disappointed. The Avira Antivir Personal used about 40 to 60 MB of RAM. Of course, it didn't, in fact, it wouldn't remarkably reduce overall performance but I always try to keep total RAM usage of 180MB or below - since I always open more than 10 applications at the same time... BUT, if you are NOT considering 'moderate' resource usage, this is the AV you've been looking for.

Eric, thank you for this great review...  

My favorite FREE AV is AVG (and in my opinion The Best Free solution) but you should also consider these two New versions and maybe provide us some new Reviews.
