Avast wouldn't let me surf the web with Firefox or IE and blamed every webpage with HTML:Script's and other Trojans. Tried to update Avast but can not connect and their website is down. After scanning with other programs I have determined that Avast is the problem. Maybe they needed a better anti-virus?

Feel free to disable Avast or do what I did and uninstall it and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

I tried Avira before and didn't like it.

I too have tried all the best free ones and I, personally, have become quite fond of M$ Security Essentials. It's small, integrated, and has caught everything I've purposely thrown it's way ;)

Work: 2 * Dual AMD 6128, 16gb DDR3 ECC REG, 8 * 300gb SAS2 15k RAID10 + 2 * Dual Core Atom D525, 16gb MLC SSD, 4gb DDR3
Home: AMD Phenom 940 @ 4ghz, 4gb Corsair Dominator, 2 * 320gb Western Digital RE3 in RAID0, HIS HD6850 /w 24", 25.5" and a 32" LCD TV
