| | AVG vs. Avast I have an AMD Turion 64 bit HP with vista. I am seeing people recommend both AVG Free Edition and Avast. Which one would work best for me? AVG or Avast? |

| | RE: AVG vs. Avast Hi, Not many people like AVG. Everyone seems to like Avast. When I had AVG I got viruses to the point that I thought it was the cause. Avast catches them.

I am seeing people recommend both > AVG Free Edition and Avast. Which one would work best for me? There's no clear answer. Both are good, and there are fans of both programs. Personally I prefer Avast, but others feel the other way around. They are both free. I recommend that you try them both (one at a time) and decide for yourself). Most important, neither choice will be disastrous. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

For paid versions there is NOD32 and Kaspersky, both of which are excellent. Personally in 32 bit Vista Ultimate I have been using Avast (free) with no issues. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

| | Re: AVG vs. Avast Personal taste. I used AVG for a few years then tried Avast! which I still use as my preference.

Avast drove me up the wall, with its annoying spinning icon and much more frequent pop ups. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.
