When AVG was first launched it was a great AV product. Now, like most services have gone the evil direction. It became pretty obvious they went downhill after directing people who want the free version to buy their other products.
I've been uninstalling AVG and replacing it with Microsoft Security Essentials. I know a lot people will be upset over that because [their favorite AV] catches X% more viruses and malware than MSE. But you know what - MSE is light, made by the same company who made the OS, and catches most of the common viruses.
- mattmanser 11y agoLast time I looked MSE had fallen way behind everyone else. I could be completely wrong now.
- imglorp 11y agoThis may be an unpopular theory, but I believe an insecure system was in MS's best interest. This would explain their weak tools and poor security.
- simplexion 11y agoWhat? We use System Center Endpoint Protection which is just MSE for Business. It works really well.
