I’ve been using both AVG Free and Avast Home on two different PCs since about the beginning of this year. I was pointed towards AVG when Norton messed my computer up so badly I had to format the HD.

Then, a few months later, I set up a second PC (the one I’m now posting from) on which I installed Avast! after having browsed the forums here as a guest, and read various reviews and opinions on the net.

What I can see is that Avast! is by far more agressive and effective with viruses, and I love the fact that it works so well with MailWasher, scanning the suspicious attachments and alerting me of them at the same time MailWasher does, in MW’s very window. :slight_smile:

I’ve also found the resource consumption not really worth worrying about, although AVG is somewhat more lightweight.

To sum everything up, I’d say I lean more towards Avast! as it has yet to fail me (AVG had a really hard time removing MSBlast from my XP PC). I’m also very happy to report that Avast! works flawlessly with Win 98 SE. :slight_smile:
