just once every few months or so you get a false positive in the middle of the night and think your computer is self destructing

I switched from AVG to Avast. It tends to detect more, in my experience.

Plus the one thing I love about Avast is boot-time scans, so if you are infected it has a better chance of detecting and removing an issue.

But yeah, Microsoft Security Essentials is another good free program.

I use Avast, but I also use the internet in such a manner that doesn't get me many if any viruses

SuperNiceDog? More like GuruNiceDog.

the only time i have ever had to reinstall windows due to a virus was when i had avast installed. granted, i wasn't using spybot resident then, which may have had more to do with it. so that might be a better recommendation than AVG, hard to say.

I switched from AVG to Avast after AVG let a trojan slip by. Haven't had any problems since then!
Of course I do use Malwarebytes for the really nasty stuff.

Well yeah, I have Malwarebytes installed and do a scan about once a month with it.

Avast is good real-time protection, but if **** gets serious make sure you have Malwarebytes.

Avast is pretty good. I switched to Eset because there was some sale where I could get it pretty much for free, but I never had any real issues with Avast.

DON~!

*use AVG, Detects nothing and slows comp down*
*Use Avast, Detects a few Trojans. Normal comp speed*

nod32 and kaspersky are better than avast, but both are paid for any usage (or you just go 'wait i have internet').

for the free ones though, easily the best.
