staring on the comparative quoted above they examined AVG Anti Malware (not AVG Anti-virus) and after all the AVG product scored 479.533 against Avast's 467.046. The product examined from Avast became the pro version not the unfastened version so the full element is irrelevant to the question asked. it incredibly is definitely a coice element as i don't have confidence there is fairly some distinction between the two products. My selection is for AVG, it incredibly is lifeless trouble-free to apply and could vehicle test and vehicle replace. Avast seems noticeably flashy however :-)

I see the AVG fanboys and cheerleaders are out in full force again here on Yahoo Answers!

AVG by Grisoft is definately NOT "The Best". Unfortunately one of the things it is not the best at, is doing what is is supposed to do, detecting viruses!

In short, AVG is crap!

In test,

etc. etc. etc, ad nauseam.

AVG has proven itself to be a mediocre performer at best. Absolutely crappy at worst. Missing almost 20%, when trying to detect known malware, in some tests. Not to mention almost non-existent heuristic detection and infrequent "once-a day" updates.

AVG = Average, at best!

There are much better free alternatives, such as Avast, Active Virus Shield, and Avria Anti-Vir.

I like best the AOL Active Virus Shield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb)

And it updates 15 to 20 times a day with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.

Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

Just be sure that you get the AOL ACTIVE VIRUS SHIELD. AOL also has a free anti-virue made by McAfee. It is not as good!

The reason for you AVG terminating is you have the old version, however the new version will only run with XP and the new one. I have found AVG knocks sox off everybody elses. Go to AVG site and look for and download the new one if you have XP.
