Default Re: honestly, how good is AVG free antivirus?

Independant comparisions have shown that Kaspersky (
http://www.kaspersky.com/) detects more than Norton does, and is far quicker than Norton at detecting new viruses.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ for comparisons.

Those comparatives are a bit useless since they test on a gazillion of very old viruses. How quick the programs are to catch new viruses is more important. Of course if the program misses a tonne of the old ones you should ditch it, but most shouldn't.

If you look, they do comparisons of how fast they catch new viruses also (in which Norton is quite pathetic). They also will give you percentages if you don't factor in old/DOS viruses.
