Default AVG 7.0 Free Edition

I used to use AVG7 but have switched to NOD32. The reason to switch was
because I found AVG auto update suddenly stopped working and I could not
repair it. Reinstallation did not work and I suspect the problem was at the
AVG end but they would not respond to my questions.

After installing "Nod" I found my machine performed considerably "better"
especially at start-up. Start-up when AVG installed was slower and often
taskbar icons would not establish unless I logged off and reinstalled.
Further, the first scan of NOD found three "worms" that were not detected by
AVG.

I am not suggesting AVG is a poor AV program (although it may be), simply I
have found Nod32 to be better for me.

Then why not post a URL so others can look at it? I've never heard of it
before.

Were you using the free version of AVG ?

I've had a few problems over the last few weeks with AVG on one machine. I
have a feeling it may have been a virus, one was detected just before the
problems and it took some messing around to remove. While trying to sort the
problem I had uninstalled the AVG program and didn't notice any real
difference in performance. I'd guess that the worms may have caused the
behaviour, but remember that no program will always pick up 100% of
infections at all times. There will probably be a time when AVG picks up
things your new program doesn't. I found this with AVG and Norton, finding
AVG slightly better.
Bottom line is that so long as you are happy with whatever you use that's
fine, but remember to regularly update the definitions and don't get
complacent- things can change.
