Next best? <grin> Don't you mean a better choice? I like Avast,
<http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html>, some people prefer Avira,
<http://www.free-av.com/>.

Is there a free version of Avira? I don't need a firewall as I have a
hardward firewall in my home network router. On the site, all I see
is paid version that includes the firewall - am I missing something?

(The free version won't scan your emails.)
Unless you are using Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes (MAPI or VIM),
scanning email is worthless.

Lack of email scanning in the free version is a bit of a killer though (and
yes i have read the articles claiming email scanning to be pointless), it
also doesnt have scheduled scanning in a default installation, and annoying
pop up...
