Changing Anti-Virus Software

On my wifes PC I have installed AVG as I much prefer ir to Avast!, it works fine.
I suppose it depends how much risk you put your PC at. My wifes PC is put at much lower risk than mine so it uses a free AV. I pay for the AV on my PC as it more likely to come in to contact with the worst the net can throw at it.

But I wouldn't use Norton, and I certainly wouldn't use McAfee as it is so bloody intrusive.

I'd like to know about the advantages of AVG over Avast! Slug.

Eset NOD32 is my favorite. Simple, very low usage of resources, and has the best protection.

Norton is the biggest system hog around....it comes pre-installed on my rig, and every time I dump my system(usually 1-2 a year), the first thing I do is uninstall that ram beast from my computer.

Personally, I've found McAfee's products to be great, not too intrusive, and they hardly use any system resources at all.

McAfee is the biggest hog of them all. It's OAS slows down most low end system to a near standstill.
