What is really the best of these 2 anti-viruses

[Mozz]

AVG Free
Avast Free

I posted this because alot of people have diffrent views from what ive read on the internet. For instance on download.com AVG is the most downloaded.

But what are your views?

[Kharnage]

I choose Avast

[Riverthief]

Avast, hands down.

[Skawke]

Most people choose AVG because it comes with most computers, and it's more user friendly, sorta.

Avast by Far, Finds more viruses and less false positives. I have never being infected using Avast.

I quite like Avast, but that's just my opinion...

[dafatman]

I think AVG has a better GUI but I really don't care about that and avast! picks up a lot more (at least for me it does).

Why choose? Run them both.

It's not a problem to run these side-by-side on the same system. I did so myself for a long time. I won't disclose my full AV setup right now but it does include one or both of those softwares.

Often Anti-Virus protection starts with knowing where you download files from. My AV never triggers because I don't download from anywhere but trusted sources (i.e. downloads.com).

I use AVG and I have never been infected unless that one time that I downloaded a phisher that had a trojan horse in it but other then that I would say

AVG.

People say the running 2 AV's side by side could cause conflicts though.
