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

Wow. I mean. Wow.

AVG is excellent (although the Interface is worse since the new version came out) and is so much better than Norton or McAfee it's untrue. Norton in particular is a pile of shít.

I used to fix PCs for a living and recall going to one office where they had Norton installed and had managed to get their PCs virus ridden, probably because they hadn't being doing the updates but nonetheless, I tried to fix one PC using Norton, it just deleted a load of vital system files which were infected and meant I had to do a reformat. The next PC I installed AVG, fixed the lot in one scan, no reinstall required, cleaned the files didn't delete them.

Norton is absolute bollocks, AVG is all you need, I've used it for years and never got a virus.

My post isn't about Norton, it's about AVG being total and utter crap. Have a look at the table, it's not just old worms they're missing. AVG doesn't come close to any paid virus software on the market. Period.

I second that. I've been in the idustry for a long time. AVG is great - especially for the price. Kaspersky is by far the best. PC-Cillin has come a long way too.

Norton & McCrappy are piles of [censored]. McCrappy is a resource hog and Norton just crashes.

Never had any problems with AVG.

Ohh, and AVG may not be the best for Malware, but Malware isn't eactly a virus. Quit going to porn sites and you'll probably solve most of your problems.
