I just did a full reinstall of Windows and AVG annoys me anymore but I have been with them so long I really don't know who to go to now. I run adblock plus/noscript on Firefox and my AVG never really picked up anything anyways but just scan every once in a while, I just want to know if there was a new king of free.

Why not try an all in one security suite like Comodo CIS the free download is on the left hand side. http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ The other is an offer for 24/7 support which is not neccessary as they have a very helpful forum, https://forums.comodo.com/comodo_internet_s...ity_cis-b125.0/ Read the reviews below for confirmation. The latest version is the best one yet.
