I hope people will look at the title properly. It is between Avast and AVG. Why Kaspersky? Why Panda and the rest of the crowd?

AVG is proven to be less effective than Avast. If you intend to choose between the 4-As and Free AVs: AVG, AntiVir, AVS and Avast, The Best currently would go to AntiVir. CURRENTLY. NOT Definitely.

AVS is no longer popular due to the shifting of Scanning Engine (Kaspersky -> McAfee).

Avast is OK. AVG is rather inadequate. smile.gif

So, Cheers to all and no offense.

P.S. Kaspersky and NOD32 are of the reliable AVs around. BitDefender is Fine, but quite high rate for False Positives. Panda should be OK though I never tried. McAfee, Norton are disappointing.

Lets cut it out right here. If people LIKE to go for Free AV, Then SO BE IT.

If people LOVE to Spend RM40++ on a BD License, SO BE IT.

Is there a need to start a flame war? Free AV DO NOT Always SUX. If you ever bother to read comparatives that MAKES SENSE, You will realize, even your most beloved PAID AV can be LESS FUNCTIONAL than a Free one.

It is people's preference. Is there a necessity to question people's choices?

No offense and Cheers!

some people complaining Avast memory hogging, some say Kaspersky memory hogging too, i don't know how you guys determine what is memory hogging, but FYI i'm on Kasperksy Internet Security well it work perfect even i online game with it, torrenting too... the best part using KIS/KAV is... usually i plug in the thumbdrive, the anti virus will detect incoming threat, meaning, it's real time monitoring system really work thumbup.gif

Haiz. If u want satisfied answer, better create a poll before. Anyway, for me i use Avast. I did use AVG, Kap, Panda, AntiVir and many before, but not quite satisifed. Avast actually not that good since u need to be in front PC while scanning(avast not auto-remove the virus, need confirmation from user). If my PC have 50GB Ram(hahaha), i prefer using Norton 360....

*why i said Norton 360? Many of the government office and bank server use it and it prove it's ability. U can imagine what will come if government and bank use lousy Antivirus at their server....

To my surprise, Both AVG and Avast are OK for light surfers. My dad has been using AVG for his laptop for emails and stock market with occasional chat using yahoo messenger and he is safe from virus infections for over 2 years....AVG did quarantine a few i.e 3 files to date. tongue.gif
