Avira AntiVir Personal Sucks

I had to reinstall Windows recently. For fun I thought I'd try a new
virus scanner instead of old reliable (avg). I decided to try Avira
AntiVir.

Here's a tip for people considering the same thing: don't bother!
Avira pesters you with popup ads harassing you to give them money,
every single day (everytime it updates). Big huge advertisement/popups
that claim to be from "Mr Hacker" - telling me I should buy Avira
LL I'm sooooo going to do that I LVE PPS I nearly ALWAYS
listen to them especially ones from "mr hacker"! /sarcasm off

Great sales pitch, morons.

Enough is enough - stop nagging me Avira!!! You're so
annoying!!!! /uninstall


AVG AVIRA

I do not see the big deal about clicking one ok box, once a day, seeing
that I click countless K boxes daily.

You are okay if every piece of software you runs pesters you with
popups? You're okay with popups that claim to be from "Mr Hacker" and
say stuff like "I read your email"? You put your trust in a company
like this?

Goodluck.

I'll stick with AVG, which I've used for 5+ years on three computers
(do the math guys: thats 5475 popups I didnt have to deal with?
Hmmmm tough choice).

I respect AVG and have purchased their "Pro" product on my small-
office machines because they have been so reliable with their freeware
versions on my home machines Avira has a lot to learn if they
seriously want to compete with AVG using "Mr Hacker" Popups
please it's pathetic AVG wins hands down
