[Conversation] AVG, avast, or avir?

Mazchazo · 04-26-2009

To me it is avir. Two websites say Avir is as well.

Avir has real time protection and is stronger than AVG and Avast.

AVG has real time protection but it is not that strong.

Avast is not very strong either but it is better than AVG. The full scan takes a long time too.

Another competitor is BitDefender 10 Free edition. It has the same scan engine as the pro one but NO real time protection. You just give set it a time to scan for viruses. However, it is now being equipped with some real time protection but it is not good enough.

BitDefender 10 Free Edition - Anti Virus Version

What do you think about the best free anti virus?

Hey there Mazchazo.

AVG has always been a good one for me.. I've installed on many systems and it's worked well..

Avast! has done so as well.. the options come in as to what a user wants to do..

What suits one may not suit another.
