AVG is what I'm trying to get away from. The nag screens are becoming too much for my clients to deal with, I've had multiple client inadvertently install either the trial edition or their Tuneup tool. Speaking of which I had a client call me yesterday who had installed the AVG Tune Up Tool, and when it ran it told him he had multiple versions of the same files on his hard drive (owing to the fact that he had an old pc's data copied to a folder on his hard drive), and when it prompted him to get rid of those multiple files, he agreed and it deleted several binary files that were required to run his programs. Shadow copies to the rescue! And don't get me started about their Secure Browsing addin for browsers.
Anyway I figured I'd had a good run with AVG and needed a new alternative to recommend and so far I've been relatively pleased with BitDefender, but if it breaks my compile process and it comes down to BitDefender or VFP, then Bitdefender's gotta go.
PS: I am a reseller for AVG and sell large corporate clients the Network Licenses for multiple users. We have no issues with the paid Business Version of AVG. It's just the free stuff I'm trying to get around. However, given the fact that I bought the full version of BitDefender to get around issues with their free version, maybe I already have my answer.

Should I just dump Bitdefender and go with a different AV tool?If so, what's the recommended tool.
I'd love to hear folks answers too. I've used Avast with pretty good success. AVG Free before that.
