as a whole package Eset Smart security is one of the best. but if you are going to use the default windows firewall (& save some bucks), let avira do the work.

Which one is better? Avast vs Panda Cloud Antivirus (I'm running panda in my laptop because of low memory usage & Bitdefender in PC)

if u wanna stay secure, better to install Avira/avast.
Well, only blindly installing a AV software isn't enough. The user needs to be smart and alert too. He should prevent auto-run of pendrives, etc, keep an eagle eye out for suspicious processes in Task Manager.
Game Cracks too most of the times seem infected. Malicious Emails, etc etc

^ Thats a nice one -- Very few FP's ...
Integrates with Windows FW ....
But I don't think the detection is 5 ....
Very good for a basic user ...
When they hopped to v2 of MSE they started to drop the performance+ policy i think so ..

i don't think that a TDF guy is this n00b.
What makes you say that ?
Is TDF some kind of COLLEGE where you seat and get FREE lectures on SECURITY BEST PRACTICES ??
OR TDF magically turns every visitor to this FORUM into GEEKS ?I agree with @thetechfreak atleast, this time.
1. Computer User's just installing AV will never protect him/her completely.
2. It is user's self consciousness, which will prevent his/her computer to get infected.
3. If user is conscious enough not to do some of the following his will save his/her day:
>>> a) By Not visiting and downloading suspicious programs / software just to try it out.
>>> b) Avoiding P0*n sites completely.
>>> c) Avoiding illegal ways to use software ( i hope members understand what i mean by this )
>>> d) By Keeping track of softwares running on their system.
>>> e) By opening E-mail attachments from trusted sources only. ( From known friends and office staff / clients / business associates only)
>>> f) Regularly moving suspicious e-mails to the JUNK FOLDER and BLOCKING the sender ( most e-mail providers have this features )
>>> g) DO NOT SUBSCRIBE for E-MAIL NEWSLETTERS from unknown websites / companies ( better don't subscribe for this at all )
4. This are some basic things i can think of at this time.

When did I say a TDF member is a n00b
? Why make pre assumptions when I didnt even type the word?I gave general suggestions to all irrespective of whether one uses a Anti virus or not.
Most cr@cks these days are flagged by AV's as Malware. Thats good. Because some do contain Malware. I know most people will restore that .exe and use it and get infected and then blame the AV and post in various forums-
abc antivirus is crap. NO protection. Avoid it.
Many people are infected even after installing "Avira or avast". I myself have been. I know I am not the best of geeks but I am a *little* better than a noob
n00b is better than a Geek. Because once you consider yourself a Geek ,you never learn anything new.
