AVG better than Avast?

[WeezleXX89]

Is AVG better than AVast? Avast has a monitoring system which it look in the files before i open them. Does AVG have this option? If so, can you send me the link to get home edition. Im not sure if i should continue with Avast.

That is a direct link to the exe file for the new AVG Free 7.5. AVG monitors real time, and works quite well for what I use it for.

I prefer AVG. I used Avast several years ago until I got hit with a virus while under its protection.

I know that's not scientific or anything. Heck, AVG isn't perfect either but I like AVG.

I prefer AVG

Agreed. Antivir is cool too

Been using AVG for years...

AVG is light and doesn't pester you about updates and configurations and whatnot. I've tried others but I prefer AVG.

 

[WeezleXX89]

what do you mean AVG monitors real time?

 

[FlacoMike]

Yes, AVG checks files before you open them just like Avast. One of the features listed on their website is "Realtime protection of files and e-mails".

I've been using AVG for awhile now and I'm very satisfied. I've installed it on all my family's PCs.

 

[WeezleXX89]

so would you say it has better features than Avast. Does it say what virus and how serious it is? such as minor to severe

I also have been using AVG for a long time now and very happy with it...

I got hit with a trojan the other day and it notified me right when it hit, and a little message pops up telling you what it is, where it is, and a few options to make it obsolete. Also it pops up with a picture of some ugly looking dude on the right side lol...

[WeezleXX89]

Funny, I switched to Avast due to getting hit with a virus while under AVG, lol. I haven't used AVG in a long while, but I thought they were gonna do away with the free version soon? Coulda been a rumor, but I really dig Avast. Been using it for a few years and as far as i can tell, has stopped several wannabe virus attempts.

Avast >= AVG ... IMHO. I tried AVG for a while and didn't like it. Interface was funky, and didn't seem to do a good job. I run Avast on all my computer and haven't been let down yet.

AVG is the daddy

kaspersky is the weird exchange student from a small country near russia which noone knows the name of
