I was having problems with Avast, so I switched to AVG. I then noticed that I was suddenly unable to download emails from my Gmail account, so I tried Bitdefender. That didn't help, so I did some more checking around and decided that the email problem involved unannounced changes by Google that had nothing to do with my anti-virus but meant I had to reconfigure my email program.

At any rate, I've got Bitdefender at the moment, and if that doesn't work out I'll go back to AVG. Both seem okay.
