btw.. AVG didn't even get into the TOP 10 antivirus detection list.. avast got 4th in place (98% rate in detection) after kaspersky in 1st and 2nd place (i think got two version of kaspersky if i dont remember wrong) and AOL antivirus in 3rd (this AV is base on kaspersky that's why it got in 3rd ^^)..
im not bashing AVG, i used it once, it is very memory efficient (low memory usage), fast scanning (avast is very slow in scanning).. but still AVG is very highly rated by download.com.. I dont know the reason, but Avast is still the best because it offer more solid protection than AVG..
Avast is not just an antivirus, it has many layer of protection including email, p2p, im and a light-weight firewall, and it's forum support on bug and viruses is very friendly and they really will heard what suggestion that we listed and they try their best to fix or add new feature in the new version =)
Things i dont like about avast is sometimes it failed to scan compressed file format (some like rar / bak).. slow scanning very slow..
Things i like it auto virus-def update everyday.. new version avast will be downloaded automatically too with no hassle to download the whole new version from their website.. it on-access scan capabilities (if you're scanning things with other malware / spyware scanner, avast will scan it as well automatically becoz the avast scanner will scan whatever file that is being accessed by other scanner, got one virus off a spyware scanner b4
and the thing i like most is.. it's FREE LOL... (just some troubling registering to get free license key)
