Still recommending this. Its light on resources, free, pretty accurate and has, for example, coped with every USB malware my students could throw at me (not that they do it on purpose, just every 80 of the machines in this country are infested including the park in the computer study hall).
Lately, Avast seems to have acquired a "new" marketing guy, and the interface has become heavy and a little too slow to load (on an i3 8GB ram laptop). But hey!, who's arguing with the price.
The add-ons have multiplied like wildfire as well, and no, I don't need a browser, or a firewall, just a file based protection. I don't install anything but the basic. But my students need more, so even the extras don't bother me. Just turn off what you don't want and pay up if you want the luxury version. Its a better than fair deal.
Price: Free
