yea, that is a setback, but avg was missing some bad virii that avira picks up...

i have also found that avg is getting to be so popular, it isnt properly updating because the free update servers arent allocating much bandwidth for "Free" anymore, its going to the paid subscribers....

I like Avast, for free AV. It scans email, it updates frequently, and has a boot scan feature, which in my opinion sets it apart from the others.

The bottom line is that no one AV is perfect. I use Avast on my laptop, but stick to Eset (NOD32) Security for my desktops, but that isn't free.

tried nod for awhile, and it didnt seem like it was picking up on everything... we literally run 3 different AV's on customer computers to make sure we get everything fixed =/ they all need to get together, make 1 good AV and make it cheap... problem solved
