AVG8 Free edition or NOD32.


Go with NOD32 if you can as it is rated alot higher than AVG8 but you will have to purchase a license.......

I used avg for years, always up to date. One day a virus took my network down and i switched to avast. I'm much happier with avast.

I have used AVG for about 2 years till someone told me about a German anti virus program. He said this was better: Avira Anti Vir Personal Free Anti-Virus. What i like about it is this software is freeware and it detects sites that might harm your computer and blocks active X controls from that site. It also warns you before you enter the site that it could be harmful to your computer. AVG does not do that.

I've used that german one before and was also pretty satisfied with it. Just hated the annoying nag screens..

At any rate I switched over to NOD32 for other reasons, but either are perfectly good

Yeah the nag screens are a little annoying, but i can live with it. Probably will never buy a anti-virus program ever. No point in buying new software updates every year or so. It is really a rip off to all that buy it IMHO. Why pay for something when you can get for free i say.

AVG is best one to use since it is free and an excellent program.
