Which is better - Avast or AVG? I had AVG but a virus took it - just checking to see what one people like?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

- Avast real time protection is better because it will try to catch Trojans even before finish downloading the file, but AVG will need to take some time.
- Avast implements VRDB (Virus Recovery Database), AVG don't.
- AVG free version has limited features compare to its pro version. Avast free edition is as powerful as its pro version.
- AVG will start a bit slower compare to Avast.
- AVG updates is a bit faster than Avast.
- Avast thorough scan mode is very slow.
- My experiences told my Avast can detect more viruses.

Your other option is Anti-Vir. Which I myself havnt tried (because Avast works so well). But i have heard, in reviews, that Anti-Vir takes a long time to search for viruses, and it doesnt auto search...

However, with Microsoft Security Essentials out, its my #1.

I second MS Security Essentials. I've used Avast, AVG and most of the others.
MS Security Essentials is nice because A) it's from Microsoft B) there is no paid version so no upsell
Also MS Security essentials is getting pretty good reviews within the geek community.
That being said, it is behaviour more than AV software that will protect you from getting a virus. If you got infected with AVG (running and properly updated) then you will also get infected with Avast, Mcafee, MS Security Essentials, or anything else.
No P2P, no Porn, and no IE, and you could run without AV (I do).
