Avira or AVG?

I’ve been using AVG on my desktop for ages and I never encountered any problems virus infecting my PC. No slowdowns, trojans, corrupted files, etc. I don’t know if it’s because I’m just too careful with my machine or AVG did a really good job.

I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about AVG being sub-par on its virus detection so I’m on the lookout for a different anti-virus to install on my new laptop. Avira recently updated its version to 9 and they already included the anti-spyware and anti-adware support on their FREE version.

Anybody out there have experience with Avira? Or should I stick with my AVG? This is not a paid post by the way and comments are greatly appreciated.

Avira isn't a really good antivirus when it comes to sensitive data with clients. I used AVG but it continues to hog much memory, I use norton always because of the speed and reliability it gives me, but then again, free version can't really compete with paid versions, in this case i would choose AVG.
