I don't know what is better, I love Avast but I feel completely safe with it.

I've been using AVG for years. I don't have any complaints.

Can't say much about Avast though.

NORTON best of the best

HAHAHA norton is really really bad, it takes up sooooo much memory on a computer and that's why people's pcs go slow with it.
AVG is best, it uses minimal memory but is very safe

Personally, I prefer AVG. I'd advise against using both.

McAffy and Norton are shit.
Avast is slow and isnt kept uptodate
AVG is free, but again is very slow on the plus side, AVG is uptodate

Avast is up-to-date. AVG has startup check which is a nuisance.

Well i used Avast to do a boot-up scan or w.e it is called i really like it as it found that i had a virus which norton couldn't find.. probably because as its a boot-up scan the viruses arn't properly active yet so it is easier to find them!

but thats all i use Avast for i don't use it as an anti virus program, just a scanner.

iv only used AVG once.. but i installed it on my friends computer yesterday and it found like a zillion trojans.. so yh you know.. that seems good..


most anti virus programs all have good points and unique things like avast has the boot-up scan.

I have been using AVG for EVER but right now I'm using Avast! and truthfully it is hard to tell the difference.
