    Anyone have experience with AVG-Anti Virus?

    It's free right? Pros? Cons?

    Thanks.

    Free, I like it... it takes up a chunk of resources, but overall no complaints or problems that I can recall.

        It's free but it's not as good as Avast which is free as well

          OK... so if Avast and AVG are so good, why would anyone pay for Norton?

                Norton is a waste of money in my opinion. I've had two versions over the years and both were shit

                  Norton is target for many viruses that will destroy it upon their attack.

                      Interesting. I'm not sure how Norton can be called a bad product though. I have used it for years with no issues. However, if AVG is equally good (and free!), then I really should give it a chance.

                        Evil Chris, you're probably the lucky one.
                        I know people who had many issues with Norton...

                          Corporation pays for Norton .... So when shit happens, nobody is to blame .
                          I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                          But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                I use to love avg had all my family on it, then I tried avast and fell out of love with avg very fast! It isn't a resource hog like avg and it catches way more things.

                                  Thanks for the good info and feedback. I'm going to give AVG a try soon.

                                    AVG has been very good for me but I have also heard good things recently about AVAST. In the hosting world I know at least two dozen System Admins around the country that originally directed me to AVG.

                                        AVG has gone way downhill over the last couple years.. Your asking for trouble with that free version or even the paid version, Get Trend Micro Pro....its worth the money

                                                  AVG was okay... I'm trying out Comodo right now. I like their firewall protection program, so I decided to give their antivirus a try. So far so good...

                                                    Kapersky and avast are far better than AVG...

                                                    Lets not even mention the most fucked up yet default "anti virus" software out there... Norton. Norton is the biggest fucking pile of shit joke out there.

                                                    Go with the paid Avast version.

                                                      I used to be an AVG user unitl I got a virus
                                                      AVG couldnt find it so I installed Avast. It founded and deleted it completely. Now I am a happy Avast user !

                                                        I used AVG and it was good but when i noticed that when you use Avast you oly have to sign up on the website and they give you full protection.

                                                          It's OK. It's no NOD32, but it's OK.

Nod32 is for the average PC user. Norton and McAfee absolute rubbish waste of good money and time. Kaspersky Internet Security is great for someone who does a lot of work on the net.
