I'm currently using AVG 8.0 with the free 1 year license I got a while ago. Should I switch? Is Avira really lighter than AVG 8.0?

Hmmm... it seems that the comparison was done with AVG 7.5, not the new 8.0 version. -
I'm currently using Avira free and Threatfire. What do you think of turning off Threatfire while using Avira Premium?

What types of evil does TF address that are not covered by Avira premium?

Premium has a "guard" function:
You will normally want to monitor your system constantly. To this end, use the Guard (= on-access scanner). With this you can scan all files that are copied or opened on the workstation for viruses and unwanted programs "on the fly".
-
Then it should be alright to let both of them run, if you start having problems, uninstalling TF would be okay.
-
Just to be clear, I'm not asking if there is any problem in running both TF and premium, I'm asking if premium alone is likely to be adequate protection.
