I'm about to give up AVG too. Too much of resource hog. When it scans, it slows everything down to a crawl sometimes. Antivir is quite good. But, it's nearly useless as it never manages to auto-update. I have to do it manually, and even then it tends to fail. Haven’t tried Avast, but I’ve tried Antivir.

I am about to give up on the product. I did manage to get it updated after about 20 tries--although I don't know why the update finally worked--but I have since realised that my scans are running so slowly that they do not complete before my automatic restart kicks in. If I set them to "fast scan," they take over the system and my other tasks crash. I have been hearing good things about Avast! Antivirus free, and I think I may give it a try for awhile. It is worse.
