Thank you.


Avast catches more viruses than AVG. See the test results at

I personally would not use either.

sounds like a well-written marketing document

I just cleaned a friend's system of 6 trojans and ? viruses, almost lost the
DeskTop - their high priced AV didn't catch them, One Care quarantined 3
Trojans, and cleaned the viruses, but TrendMicro's Housecall removed
everything and more. HiJack, and 3 others were evaluated and all's well -
and I'm blind!
