    It seems like less people are using Antivir,
    comparing to last year poll?

    I have noticed that , too . Perhaps they have lost a few customers with version 10. But there is nothing so strange - the antivirus world is may be the most dynamic part of the whole computer software world

    It is still very good. I think there are so many and with freebies improving, money is a issue.

    I also think if Avast was broken down to paid or free, Avira would then be first of the paid choices.

    KIS 2010. The 2011 version needs to bake some more before it's done.
    Also burning up licenses for:
    Outpost Security Suite - too broken to use, hangs on x64, the antispam locks Outlook.
    Norton Internet Security - Likes to delete files without asking, too many false positives.
    ESET Smart Security - too broken to use, locks files and hosed my laptop while trying to use Windows Update, firewall loses it configuration.

    I needed to change from the resource hog McAfee (which I get free from my ISP), so after some thought I downloaded the Panda Cloud Free. It seemed very light & I was initially impressed. I ran a standard scan (approx 40 min) & all was fine. I think it found some tracking cookies. Later the same day I ran a full scan. It found 3 imaginary viruses! I'm now using MSE. It seems fine & is quite light.

    Watch out for Panda's false-positives. I have since discovered that the freeware 'Cloud' suffers a bit from these. I think when they figure this out it will be definitely a contender though. I was quite surprised just how light it really was.

    Does the Pro version suffer the same f/ps, because it does seem to be quite a popular AV?

    Avira10 Premium on my fast machine and Avira10 personal (on demand) for 2 weaker notebooks. Avira's detection is always among the best.

    Microsoft Security Essentials on all of my computers. I even replaced KAV 2011 with MSE on my main computer, too many issues.

    Have been using only Kaspersky (KAV/KIS) now for a year, and have been quite happy with it (ignoring some issues, like the lack of Custom Installation).
