Avast! or AVG ?
After years of using Norton Security products, I'm getting sick of Norton resource hogging my PC's along with loads of other little problems and the high price tag for yearly updates and upgrades. I'm thinking of installing ZoneAlarm personal firewall (free edition) instead. But I can't decide on which Antivirus software to use along side it. I've herd loads of good things about Avast! and AVG, so I'm going to use either one of those, but can't decide which. What are your views on each and which do you recommend?

i cast my vote for AVG. in my experiance (limited
) it has proved more efficient. combined with zone alarm your comp should be pretty secure. If your browser of choice is going to be IE, then please switch to firefox. its a better more secure browser. if you do choose to stick with IE, then i recommend you also get hold of Hijackthis, and ad-aware as added measures. run a hijackthis scan every week or so and peek at the logs for irregularities. cheers ![]()

I feel AVG Free has a better product than Avast. If I were to purchase an antivirus today, I would opt for NOD32 Antivirus System:
