I have been a fan and user of avira since win98 days. Only problem have had is a few (about 2) false positives, which were very quickly fixed when i queried them.
One thing I like about avira is that you can now "lock it down" and specifiy a default action to be taken when a virus is detected that does not invlove prompting the user. Recently had an experience with a friend when their (paid for) anti virus popped up a message saying "xxxxx detected, allow?" and the default button was "ok, allow" which meant the trojan got installed. Quite a "Duh" moment.
So far, though, avira has proved foolproof on kids machines.
