If you don't like AVG, then try a different anti-virus. I think AVG 2011 is worse than 9.0, which was worse than 8.5. I don't think I will be installing the next version.

all i use is "Crap Cleaner " malwarebytes, and Comodo AV.
AV is a big choice out there but it depens what ya get used to , there is a lot of good one but also a lot of crap to choose from in fact i would say the best i have tried was NOD32, but the Comodo is handy as it is a firewall / AV and is easy to use.
but it is up to everyone to make there own choice
samsung 850evo 250gig , WD black 2 TB . Asus Phoebus sound ,
16 gig Avexir ram 2400 , water cooling Corsair H100i gtx ,
Corsair 750HXI Psu , Phanteks Enthoo pro case .

Seriously I used to appreciate AVG in the early days as it was free but in honesty it was never much use. The interface didn't give me a lot of confidence either.
I eventually switched to Avast which instantly picked up a lot of stuff that AVG had never found. Apart from the odd few issues with avast which have been a pain, i've stuck with it because its superior to AVG.

Combine that with MalwareBytes and Superantispyware and you have a good security suite - and all are free!

I've often wondered how much the Antivirus companies pay the virus writers to produce new malware on a regular basis.

And why not?
its also worth noting that many universities offer Kaspersky on a "very cheap" license (i think its a fiver per PC, or £10 for a 3box of
Personally, i know Kaspersky is "good" but i much prefer NOD32, set and forget- turn off the alerts and you've got a very good "in the wild" protected AV, a well updated AV, and one that uses a very small footprint, that doesnt even peep. win
