Yes heard that too.

In my opinion both are good. I would go for Avast although.

I think that AVG is good because it has a more freindly feel to it.
But i think that avast is the best because it finds more problems for me, as less false positives.

Really, you need to form your own opinion. The argument could go on for years over anti-virus combinations and packages.
Ultimately, its up to the user to decide what (s)he likes best.

LOL. You are right. It depends to the user to decide which one is the best for him.

AVG is indeed user friendly, but isn't really that Hacker-Friendly.. Avast would be the best bet. However, I personally use AntiVir. Smile
