Hey all, just downloaded AVG because mcafee was giving me troubles. Is AVG antivirus free edition a good choice. Where does it rank among most antivirus programs out there? Thanks all.  Very Happy

AVG is pretty good... personally I prefer Avast though.

I use it on every syetem that I "clean" up because the dumb dumb forgot to install antivirus..   I think it is fairly easy to learn and doesnt require tons of computer knowledge to operate it.. I might have to go and check out this other program..

Iuse the AVG free edtion ts ok if you don't want to spend money.....  but when you think you are protected either by AVG PRO, Avas tPro, NAV, McAfee guess again'  NO!  so far the best one for me has been KAV PRO 5.0  if can't buy it download it or download the BETA version.

I bet if you install KAV and scan your virus free computer that AVG leads you to believe' you will get a big surprise...

My computer is 3 years old, i dont know how it messed it up, i clicked "scan" and a blue screen poped up, shut off my computer and when i tried to go on, the blue screen would just pop up when windows loads and it would shut down my computer again
