AVG Bad?

Slashdot | AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet

I've been a big fan of the free AVG Anti-Virus since I was introduced to it when I first started at Central. It sounds like that love might be running out though. Apparently the new safe search feature is causing a lot of problems for various websites as its webcrawler is disguising itself and flooding websites. These don't sound like the practices of an honest company or a responsible one. I'm going to wait and see how this pans out, but I might be looking for another anti-virus solution soon. Feel free to comment with your suggestions. Free and lightweight is definitely preferred.

I've been using Avira AntiVir for ages. The free version is a bit annoying in that I can't schedule when it'll update, and it always seems to do it at an awkward time but can't look a gift horse in the mouth, eh?
