Personally I use ZA Internet Security Suite, which has all the features. A list of the features can be found here but I love it. I mean I don't use all the features such as the Identity Theft Protection, but that's because I don't keep any personal information on my computer, no credit card #'s, I don't use quicken, etc. It's great though, I recommend it. I've had no virus' since I got it, and very few spyware, and anything I do have is quickly found. It scans whenever I turn on my PC and runs in the background so I don't even see it unless it finds something. Great firewall - I used to go to this porn site and if my firewall was up, it wouldn't let me get past the main page of the site, if I tried to click any links it would bring me right back to the main page.
It also includes an OS Firewall which helps prevent root kits and kernel level threats. Seriously, this program does it all, and the best part is, it's really not that complicated. It's all pretty much self explanatory - or at least it was to me.
I don't know too much about Avira, except for the fact that I've heard of it, since it seems to be distributed in Europe (I can tell b/c of the prices on the website), and I live in the US.
Edit: There are other versions of ZA besides Internet Security Suite - which meets whatever needs you may have. I also forgot to include, 2 really cool features of ZA - certain versions (like ISS) has instant messaging protection, I don't know if you've ever gotten those links from friends where its like "Hey! Come check out my new pictures!" you click it and bam you got a virus, well ZA would block that incoming message. The other cool feature is "Game Mode" - you just put ZA in game mode and it'll prevent pop-up notifications and basically just allow the game to run. It's great, check out the ZA website and check it out.
