Just for the sake of asking. Is Avast not at least as good as AVG for both being free?
Our local computer repair shop recommends Avast highly. I know Avast found 7 viruses in my old Gateway that had Norton on it. I kept Norton updated every week or two the whole time and ran it the same.
I'm happy with it. I have not had anything get by it that I know of. I have ran some other stuff (Panda, etc) to double check and it shows clean.
