What the foxtrot?
I guess he's never tried Avast or Avira.But it's partly thanks to this lean feature set that AVG Anti-Virus Free is one of the lightest packages around. We found installing it added just 25 seconds to boot time - including post-boot CPU activity - and a tiny 49MB to the overall RAM footprint of our Vista test system.
seems he has not heard of a2 either, a2 uses less then 1MB...
I personally dont see memory usage as an issue when your system security is at stake...RAM is dirt cheap....
cheeriokilla: where did you read that "AVG Free is best free AV" ?
this is what Pc Pro says: AVG is perhaps the best established free antivirus package, with a service record more than a decade long. With longevity like that, it must be doing something right.
Indeed, in our malware tests it detected a credible 93% of threats - rubbing shoulders with commercial packages from Eset and Kaspersky."
93% ???
what a joke....
a good antivirus / antimalware-program like fx. a2 detects over 99% !
a2 typically detects 99,8%....
personally i dont think AVG has been that great in a long time. i think it's more that they are better known than many of the other free av options available because of the popularity it gained in the xp days
