Interesting your obversations on AVG and AVAST. I have been running AVAST
for 4 years without any issues. I have attended to many computers who have
been running AVG who have had trojans and viruses and installed AVAST
which kicked up a fuss when installed, found the viruses and removed each
and those computers are still happily running.
I also have run for years Nortons and MacAfee but noticed how much slower
the computer performs and how much resources are tied up when running
either.
Cheers
