Hi

My EPG for windows media centre no longer updates. On investigation, I found that Avast (the virus scanner I've used for years) now identifies BigScreenEpg (BSETool.exe) as containing Win32:Evo-Gen and 'conveniently' deleted the exe. I like the features of BSEPG and would prefer to keep using that (I know that EPG Collector can now import directly into media centre). The guide isn't the real issue.

Having grown tired of repeated pop-ups from Avast in recent months, I'm looking for an alternative. If I even need one. All I want is something that runs in the background and doesn't nag me unless there's a real threat.

I typically use the HTPC for freeview, netflix and youtube, and occasional web browsing. It's running windows 7 (64bit).

So, what are you using and what would you recommend? I'm interested in suggestions before I go wasting money.
