AVG, Avast, or Avira?

Question

Which of those three free antivirus programs is the best one?

Answer 1

Hello,

I would definitely recommend Avast.

-Avast is one of the best Anti-Virus softwares there is. Avast has one of the highest virus detection rates of any software.Avira is very good to, but not as good as Avast! Avast is definitely better than Avg. Everyone thinks Avg is good just because its popular, though it doesn't have good detection or removal rates compared to Avast. And the best part is that Avast is Free!

Download it from here-

Avast has been rated as the "Best Anti-Virus of the Year" by PC World magazine.

Although Avasts interface looks like a music player, dont judge it by its cover, its really good.

GOOD LUCK ^_^

Answer 2

i never heard of avira, but have used both avg and avast. i like them both so i would say it's up to you. i currently use avast and like it's features, that's my choice for a thumbs up.

Answer 3

use avast my friend

Answer 4

I use and recommend Avast.

Avira's detection rates are somewhat higher than Avast, but Avira also tends to have more false positives.  Also Avira is well known to have auto-update issues. Although AVG is *not* going to stop free updates, according to even loyal AVG users, the most recent version of AVG is not good at all.  

Avast is probably the best all-around free antivirus.

Answer 5

Avira

Answer 6

Avast is great. I have used Avira and also AVG.  I prefer the level of protection that Avast gives me.  AVG was ok until V8 release, then it became bloated and the longer it is on a machine the longer it takes to scan, even with no increase of programs etc.

Avast anti-virus better definitions, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in, faster and more reliable:
