I'd meant to mention the Linkscanner and User32.dll issues as two additional reasons I've soured on AVG, but my rants seem to be getting longer

Avast seems like a decent program, but I seem to remember the control panel for it being very odd.

Frankly, I can't say "good riddance" enough to companies like Norton. I'm certain that this MSE product is going to be huge, and that's without any push from Microsoft, who I'm certain will neither advertise the product or pre-install it on any PCs for fear of being spanked by the EU. That doesn't matter, though. Like I said, I'm going to have such an easy time convincing my clients to switch from Norton to MSE.
