How to get a free License

Which is better Avira or Avast ? Presently I am using Avira since quite some time but it gives a lot of false positives.

To be Honest I find the Free Avira to be superior to Free Avast. Yes the false positives are mostly given in cr@cks, other illegal stuff which are always recommended to stay away from
Cant comment properly on paid version as I havent used avira paid much.

Avira is on par with Avast but avast is improving drastically in every release. My Vote to Avast. I'm using Avast Free From 2007 It has done good job handling all sort of viruses. Use Malwarebytes as On Demand Scanner it can do job that the best antivirus can't do properly.

Avast Free virus updates is valid for 1 year. How do you manage to update to latest definitions?

Avira is better than avast.

You are well protected by Avast and Malwarebytes, still you had to format your pc? I wonder what's the reason for so many formats.

Windows XP to Vista to Windows 7 + Linux.

If you talk about free one only then I will go for "Avast". I have used it and found no problem at all.

With proper firewall, one don't need to use any anti virus. Otherwise M$ security essentials would do the job easily.

Just installed Avast Internet security with the method described in the source. Also repped the OP for posting such a useful information.

This thread is going to be a comparison of AVs thread soon specially between Avira and Avast - which one is better but for that we have a thread in here ;-)
