Avira AntiVir Personal-Free Antivirus

Hi
Question #1 - I have had this on my pc since March 2010 and cannot seem to update it either automatically (it always fails) or when I try to do it manually I get this error message:
The VDF update kit is corrupted. The file will not be installed..
Search engine: V8.02.01.210, 3/31/2010
Virus definition file: V7.10.06.25, 4/5/2010
This means I have not been able to update my Avira since May 2010. Any suggestions? Is there a better antivirus progam that is free and dependable?

Question #2 - Is it better to 'Quarantine' or to 'Delete' any found Trojans or any other bad stuff found by Avira?

Thanks for any help
