772186 2009-05-09 08:36:00 Stay with AVG its reliable.
Latest free version is 8 Hope thats a JOKE - this week alone I have had to repair 7 PC's that HAD AVG8 - what a heap of rubbish (and thats being polite) - PC's lock up, the AV wont update, kills the Internet - and still misses LOTS of viruses.

I have gone with Avast free on my desktop & Avira Antivirus on my laptop.

& I stuck AVG 8.5 on to my mum’s computer.

772191 2009-05-12 06:32:00 I went from AVG 7.5 to Avira then Avast then to AVG8.5 Its a matter of what you like the best as no one system will get them all.I like the way AVG works how I set it up I also use Malwarebytes Anti malware. I have never had a problem.Have been to Trend micro housecall as well for an on line scan that was slow. Roger Hunt (13648)

Good program.....but wonder how long before you get fed up with the nagging pop-ups you get every day !

Your poor mother...

This thread has 9 recommendations for avast & only 2 for AVG (with criticism of it from wainuitech, who sees heaps more examples than most of us)

So you download the top player & stick the booby prize on hers..?
I do hope you've told her that - and explained WHY?

Hmmm Still misses lots - Today - working on a Customers PC - they complained it was "slow and doing funny things" had latest AVG - all up to date - said it was clean.

Removed AVG - installed nod32 - removed 7 viruses and around 300 Spyware, ran other antispyware programs, removed a further 2259 infections.(that number is not a typo)
