Help! avg or avast?

[Guest]

Hi gang! I've been using AVG av free for a while with no apparent problems, but having read some reviews on the internet it appears that the detection rate is poor. So, I'm thinking of changing to avast until cavs3 becomes available. Does anybody have any advise. Also should I use BO Clean? I'm running xp sp2, cfp3, and spyware terminator. Many thanks YAMO.

AVG is not bad, but I would prefer avast or Avira. There it's your choice. BOClean is a good complement, if you feel that you have system resources for four (FW, AV, AM, AS) monitoring programs - go for it!

Avast. hands down. Been an Avast user for over 2 years. Ive tried almost every free Anti Virus out there. And i do have to say Avast 4.7 Home Edition Is one of best. IT has great detection and is very simple to use.

Thanks Goose 17 for your reply. I've just downloaded Avast, so I'll see how it goes. Yamo.

Avast!....But it is slower on on-demand scans.

Hi Info Sec. Thanks for your response. Having just downloaded Avast I'll give it a chance. If I don't get along with it I can always go back to AVG or try something else until CAVS3. Cheers Yamo.

I think you choosed the right one. Avast! has a boot-time scan that you can run if you're unable to remove viruses, which is a very nice feature (especially for a free anti-virus).

Hi Ragwing. I hope that I've chosen the right one. It does seem a little strange after using AVG for so long not to see the program on my laptop. But, I suppose that I'll get used to it. Many thanks for your input. Yamo.

It took me awhile to adjust from AVG to Avast but now 2 years later... I wouldn't go back to AVG at all.

   Hi Goose 17. Thanks for your support! Any thoughts on BO Clean?

I use BOClean along with Avast and i believe the both of them together are great protection. Highly suggest using it along with any Anti Virus

Hey Red! Thanks for the response. I'm starting to get used to Avast (which I think that I prefer). So BOClean is next on the list. Great to hear from you. Regards Yamo.
