Yes. AVG has a lower detection rate, a higher false positive rate, and is more likely to cause BSOD.
Out of the free versions, Avast!
AVG Free does not offer the same level of rootkit protection as the paid AVG (this is changing in the 2011 product currently in beta).
Out of the paid versions, Avast! Even when the paid version of AVG is tested against Avast! Free, Avast! usually does better.
With AVG Free my family has had both a success story and a failure story. Edit: The failure story could have had a lot to do with the user.
I've never used Avast! for any extended period of time.

Personally, I never really like either one.
But, thats not the question.
Given a choice between the 2, I would have to say Avast.
Was always something about AVG I just didn't like. And Avast seemed to do a better job.
Mind you, its been a couple years since I tried them so ...
Round and round we go.....
An endless debate.
Avast is rated higher than AVG. Ask the BSOD guys about AVG causing BSOD. I've personally used Avast since XP. Check out Avira Antivir as well, even better rated than Avast. A Guy
Avast is better. AVG can cause BSODs
