When i last looked, its free version only scans on demand and does not
protect against new infections. In comparisons with Avira in reliable
university-connected tests, it's been shown to be much slower in getting
definition updates to users after a virus outbreak and to be less good
at heuristics (recognising malware it doesn't have in its definitions).

They never do that; that's a problem with some antispyware programs.
What you want to avoid is having more than one antivirus running
simultaneously. You have to turn off the realtime protection (often
called "background" or "guard") of your normal one.
