I also use FireFox, I was just wondering about AVG because everyone seems to love it, I had avast and Superanti and I just got AVG, and I think I am going to keep AVG and get rid of avast

I love avg...I did not like avast. The interface looks like a windows media player and was difficult to understand on how to scan..plus there were several files that avast would not scan..and it never gave a reason as to why it wasn't scanning them.
AVG is very easy to understand and to set up...plus it works great!

AVG is free.
AVG also removes virus's that McAfee and Norton claim they cannot remove.
I won't say AVG is the best, but it's certainly much better than some of the alternatives.

Because:
1. It has free version
2. It is low on computer resources(does not bloat up the system like symantec)
3. It works great

Because i have used Norton and it crashed my PC and had to update it by buying it every 6 months and this is free and has caught every virus that has tried to attack my computer,But 1 and it was a virus that over rode my system scanners,So i love it because it works

Most people like things that are free, and it happens to be a decent anti-virus application.
It's a competitor to Norton and others just based on the fact that it's free.

I have AVG on my computer and it works great. I like it because it is free and you can choose for it to scan different sections of your computer or scan a program for a virus.

Because it is FREE and works just as good if not better than all the commercial Antivirus programs like Norton and McAfee.
