I currently use Avira, and so far it's worked pretty well. Any criticisms? Obviously I like it for it's price as well, and I barely web browse on the PC I use it on, but I am almost constantly connected online, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I don't currently use AV, i just encrypt anything important and maintain a protected network.
However at work the only product i would ever install on a computer is NOD32..

That's pretty much what I do, very careful, go to no questionable sites (do most of my browsing on my mac) and then AV on top. Not flush with money at the moment, so I go cheap. Unfortunately cheap probably isn't the safest. |

There are some great free AV's out there the 3 best ones are Avira, avast! and Microsoft Security Essentials all of these will give you good protection and all have good detection rates. Choosing between these 3 will come down to personal preference and how will they perform on your pc. A good site that runs AV tests is http://www.av-comparatives.org/ |
