AVG or AVAST? Which one is better?

Question

Which one is better? Or neither, maybe you have a suggestion for a better program. I just wanna buy a program that is good and actually works, so that I wouldnt call it "wasting my money".

Answer 1

both are c**p

no , both are worth ____ all,, neither protect you against anything bad, seriously google the worlds best anti virus programs and you shall see AVG come in like 25th lol... kaspersky # 1 nod 32 #2 and symatec /norton a distant 3rd.. feel free to send me an email @ [e-mail] and ill hook you up with at least 6 months of FREE PAID kaspersky anti virus

bye the way your gunna need a tool from grisoft to remove avg 8 as its so crappy that even when done with it and uninstalled its still not completely deleted until u find the registry keys and poof them yourself.now the girsoft removal tool works fast and it easier for most unknowledgable users.

best of luck , please dont give that S___ company any money

Answer 2

Hi!

Personally i haven't tried Avast, but i have used AVG before and can say it is a good antivirus, if you are looking for something free. Since you mentioned you would like to buy a program then i recommend ESET Smart Security. It is an all in one package that comes with antivirus, firewall etc. ESET products have the best virus detection rate and fastest scanning time. I also found that their products have the smallest impact on my system performance.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.eset.com

Answer 3

Actually, they are almost the same, no more difference.

Just choose one you like to setup it. And they are both absolutely free!!

Good Luck

Answer 4

Avast version 4.8 is a very effective and free anti-virus program because it can do a boot time scan in safe mode and it will remove the virus on your PC. Even those stubborn viruses that hide inside the system restore folder.

It now protects against spyware, rootkits, and other forms of nonvirus malicious software. Best of all, it's free for personal use.

Answer 5

Download the two programs as a trial version first, and decide which one would fit your needs?
