ello boyboyds

split second in it. u beat me to it vixen

Boy, welcome to sevenforums.

Though AVG has been known to be a very heavy antivirus (and that isn't a good thing), it will work fine alongside malwarebytes, no problem. You do not need to disable anything.

The reason I say it is heavy is because it hogs resources and performs less than some other free antivirus software. It also has more potential to crash the system than other antiviruses. But if it is working for you, thats fine. Having malwarebytes in addition will be a major upgrade. Just remember to scan every now and again.

Of course it is an opinion, isn't everything?

If your computer can handle AVG, it isn't a problem. It does happen to be more sluggish than others, however. But perhaps that isn't a selling point for you. Scores pretty high on maleware removal. Seems it has improved recently.

I figure most antivirus softwares are comparable in malware removal, so the more important factor to me would be how it treats your system. As someone who tested AVG in the past, I do not like it. But that is why I said, " But if it is working for you, thats fine." And it is fine. No big deal

I just wish though that Microsoft bundled decent anti-virus software with their operating systems as it would cut out the worry about which A/V system to go for.

And AV software makers would go nuts and cry foul.

Nope, I'm fairly certain that some things are facts. At least that's my opinion.

AVG is a fine maleware product in use on many machines.
