Anti-Virus Software - AVG vs Avast!

 
 
Reply Fri 23 Apr, 2004 10:45 pm
Okay, so I'm a cheap bastard. I try to use as much free stuff off the net as I can. It's not that I don't buy software, I'm just selective of what I buy.

Recently, I was looking at www.snapfiles.com, and they are an excellent repository of freeware & shareware software. In looking for AVG 7.0 (which I didn't realize was a paid-licesnse package) I came across Avast!, and it has both high marks from the site and the users.

So I was curious if anyone here has any experience with Avast! It looks good, but I've got to admit that AVG has been doing pretty good for me.

Discuss, please.

After using a few different kinds of virus protections, I like the full version of AVG the best.

Avast! gets about the highest marks for the freebies. The pay-for products tend to update more comprehensively and frequently, and for lots of folks an AutoUpdate feature can be a real benefit. I use pay-for antivirus, but I mostly update it manually ... I just right-click its systray icon and select "Update Now" from time to time throughout the day. Sometimes there's an update, sometimes not. Its configured to check automatically once a day by itself, too.
