McAfee verses AVG Free

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Just finished helping a customer who was determined to keep the
free/trial-ware version of McAfee on their PC till it expired. I tried
my best to get them off McAfee. Today I installed AVG, it began a
full system scan and after only 6,000 scanned files had already found
and removed over 17 different viruses and trojans.

Just some insight for any current or possible McAfee customers.
