Default AVG FREE or AVAST FREE?
OK. Poll is up. I have read a lot of biased remarks towards AVAST and AVG. I have only tried AVG, and I have posted a couple biased posts, because I only use AVG. Should I make the switch? I can adapt to any program, so ease of use doesn't matter to me.

I prefer AVG Free, since it ran much quicker on my 533MHz Celery.

I recommend you download Commodo antivirus, Ad aware, and spyboy S&D. All of them are free, and I personally use them.

I like avast, easy, clean installation, doesnt bother me, and blocks anything, spyware and viruses and intrusions. It's a lot more than an antivirus, and I tested it side by side with norton, there are some things that norton couldnt get rid of that Avast cleaned on my friend's PC.
