RE: What is really the best of these 2 anti-viruses - Cida - 12-18-2009
I used AVG free till 2 weeks ago, and it worked great, but I switched to Avast, because after one of they updates, it was ridiculously taking up more cpu than needed, my CPU would be at 100% all the time, and looking at the processes it was coming from AVG services, so I uninstalled, Avast works fine too I suppose

I believe Avast is the best of all, not just better than AVG

They both suck.
NOD32 FTW. Best lightweight anti virus out there in my opinion.
Kaspersky is better if you have a good computer. I have a crap computer and as kaspersky is a resource hogger, it'd lag my PC like hell.
I used to use Avira Premium Security Suite too which was great.
Before that I used AVG Free which is also a resource hogger. ( and crap )

Avast of course....

As Omni stated, run both !! .... Also add on with a firwall --> choose between ZoneAlarm or Comodo..

AVG= Fail
Avast = Fail
Avira = Win.
But if you only can use AVG and AVAST , i suggest you use avast , its better.

From my experience it'd say AVG, Avast took ages to scan. Not sure of the detection rates on either.
