As a consultant, I have repaired many of PC due to virus infection. Almost ALL of those PC’s had AVG on them. I usually take off AVG and put Avast on. After that no more problems with viruses/ malware. Also, I have repaired PC’s where AVG breaks the network and starts acting like a virus itself and will not install with the installer.

Then I have to go into safe mode, delete all the files and registry entries and then the network starts working. I never used AVIRA but between AVG/ AVAST, AVAST is the CLEAR winner. Why pay for antivirus when your ISP probably provides that same expensive Antivirus/ Network Threat protection for FREE?

The first antivirus I used years ago was AVG. Then when I got a computer that couldn’t handle it for some reason, I used Avira.

I liked that very well until they started pulling Ask toolbar marketing garbage through the software. I tried to get around it, but it became too much effort to protect myself from my antivirus.

I went back to AVG. Unfortunately, AVG now has advertising pop-ups that cause computers to be vulnerable when less savvy users in the household are online. When they don’t know what to do or how to respond, they may well approve some kind of “upgrade”. I am now using Avast! Which found 5 trojans upon installation that AVG was supposed to be protecting against.

Anti-virus solutions are a real headache. I haven’t had Avast! Running long, but immediately noticed it uses fewer resources.
