| 414467 | 2005-12-21 20:27:00 | gidday, I have used both, they both do a good job, however avast has more whistles and bells than avg, it checks everything, I think if you asked it it would wash your car! lol In saying that, avast has a tendency to slow the computer a little although they are working on the problem, and avg has no real effect on performance. good luck, Robby |

| 414469 | 2005-12-21 20:45:00 | Everytime I come here I feel so validated in my choice to use NOD32. :D Personally with the antivirus X vs antivirus Y vs antivirus Z debate is less important to me as how often you update it. Please update your AV as often as possible. I get nervous if I'm checking my mail on a machine that is a day behind, let alone a week. -Qyiet |

| 414471 | 2005-12-21 22:31:00 | Antivir is the worst free antivirus I've ever seen, never used it just going on stats at 100% | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 414472 | 2005-12-21 22:56:00 | What do you guys think of the PAID version of AVG, or is that just paying for something that others get free?? Read on a US forum good things about the ZoneAlarm antivirus program. if it is as good as their firewall I would consider paying a little for that. Cheers Johan |

| 414474 | 2005-12-21 23:49:00 | Is Avast slower than Norton's antivirus? How about McFee or however you spell it? I use anti-vir & my parents use Avast. I would be inclined to say Avast is better. |

| 414475 | 2005-12-22 00:05:00 | I have seen grass grow quicker then Nortons, so Avast would be having to do something pretty badly to sink to their level. In fact, I reckon Nortons products would fail to get any market share if they were free. Here have this, its free, It will slow your system to a crawl and most probally break it as well..... God bless marketing and big shiny retail boxes. |
