I stumbled into AVG on the recommendation of a friend. She says it
works great and prefers it to Norton by a factor of 10.

Anybody else use it? *I'm leaning towards AVG, but just want another
opinion.

I had it installed on my mothers computer, and she never got a virus,
but she is a low risk user. *I changed from AVG to Avast when she
purchased a new computer due to a better review in one of the magazines
I read.

AVG and Avast are both considered light weight, small footprint AV and
do a fair job of catching virus, but might be slow to update databases
with new viruses.

*Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been the highest rated, and is priced similar
to Norton.

I used McAfee because it is free from my ISP. *It has a large footprint,
but does a great job.

Even AVG "light" updates its virii database every day on my laptop.- Hide quoted text -

That doesn't mean that AVG updates THEIR database as regularly and
thoroughly as some.
