Default Avira versus Avast

Yeah I know , This has probably been asked a gazillion times but I am not
really finding the answer I am looking for. I cannot find a clear answer
on which one runs better or is the better product. Currently running Avast
free on this Win 8.1 machine as well as on some win7 machines and Avira
free on other win7 machines

Question: Which do you feel runs better on your machine? What others
besides Norton or Mcafee do you run.

I know I am going to hear the response of run them and decide yourself but
occasionally I would like a second opinion.

Thanks in advance
Drew.

Can't help too much, but I sent this to the XP group today.
Anybody?

I've been using AVG since ------------------ I can't remember but I've been
on line for 16 years.
I may scan only 3 times per week as I trust / trusted it. Last scan was
about 3 days ago.
I did a scan yesterday.
21 trojans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm careful.
AVG could not solve the threats, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Deleted AVG, re- downloaded
it and
tried again. It was then rebooting seconds into the scan.
This pi**ed me me off big time. Deleted AVG, downloaded Avast, ran
deep scan and NO threats detected!
Earlier I had ran Superantispyware = 0 threats and
Malwarebytes = 0 threats.

I'm not the suspitious type, but I recently I used the free trial of AVG
dog's bo**ocks super duper, I could not see any differance.
I've been getting nagged that my free trial is about to expire and that I
REALLY should give them some money.
Thing is that the super duper version was still valid.

I just don't get it.
