AVG 8 or Avast Antivirus?
Discussion
avast doesnt slow your PC down as much as AVG, I used to use AVG for about 4 years then 2 years ago switched to avast on reccomendation of a guy who I worked with in holland who was in charge of R&D at the gaming company i worked for.
never looked back and now I change at least 2 people from the free avg product to the free avast product each week.
avast is specifically good for power users, gamers, etc, as it hardly touches any of your rescourses, unlike avg.

agree with the above, both are good. AVG and AVAST.. Although AVAST did want me to register.. and then re-register after a period of being free..
I'm tempted to swap back to AVG.. Esp. if 8 is less processor intensive.
AVAST seems to use less processor initially, but I'm not sure about overall.. It's probably negligible if your PC has a bit of grunt and memory.

AVG user for years and switched to Avast too. Put it on a Vista laptop and it worked for about 2-3 months and it was handed back to me the other day as it was running very slow. Played around with it and finally took off Avast and it was back to normal speed. Stuck on AVG 8.0 and all is well.
No idea was it specific to the laptop or Vista tbh as I've no time for vista yet. Anyone else have similar problems?

Hmmm... I seem to have the same issue.. It seems like it's slowed down on me, after being initially quite quick... Might switch back over to AVG 8 and see what that does..No idea was it specific to the laptop or Vista tbh as I've no time for vista yet. Anyone else have similar problems?
