    Avira is in the lead.

    I wish they could make it a little lighter on resources...

    Avira is among the lightest AVs around, far lighter than Avast and others.

    None.

    The latest Antivirus Pro I installed on my Sandboxie/Returnil setup which showed me it was a rogue app.

    Same rogue app goes under Registry Cleaner Pro.

    Malwarebytes do have both in their database.

    Currently using kaspersky as it supports both 32 and 64 bit and it runs surprisingly light.

    I'm one of the 'others'. ALthough it says 'please specify' I didn't see anywhere to 'specify.'
    CHeck Point's ZONE ALARM Security Suite. Started with that program 2 years ago, and now that I have 2 years invested in training, I opted to just renew with them for another year. I did consider a switch but just not a good time for me to start all over with the training process - and I haven't had any major problems or complaints with ZA.
