I need something free for most ppl that buy new computers. when they feel like they have to pay money to get a feature that was available on older computers it makes them feel like they're going backwards.

Classic shell was too buggy for me. SM8 works seamlessly for me. Looks cooler also

ClassicShell has a lot more other features, so its less focused on what you want it for. StartIsBack is designed to bring back what was removed. Read more on the forums link I posted above. (and google)

Compared to what for example?

well im no expert but at the end of the article he linked to it says so clearly

I've tested most anti-viruses on client machines in the past. Most of the big names are either cumbersome or hog system resources. Norton 360 really slows down the machine and doesn't do the greatest job. Kaspersky has too many pop up settings especially for a home user. Avast has a very fast detection rate, does a good job removing viruses, will block viruses instantly when you accidentally type the wrong site has a good boot time utility as well and doesn't slow down the computer. The full package of avast imo is a little over the top imo and has issues sometimes being overly aggressive and blocking outlook etc.
