David, I have used AVG and am now using Avast. Both of these are the free programs.
I liked AVG because it automatically scanned my computer at a scheduled time, but I was amazed to find out when i installed and ran a scan with Avast that my computer had a virus and malware that AVG and my anti spy programs didn't pick up. Avast has picked up malware in a few scans, so I know it's more efficient than AVG, at least in my opinion. The thing I don't like about Avast is that I have to manually initiate a scan. It's not a big deal, but sometimes I get caught up in other things and I just don't think to run the thing. I am thinking of looking into Nod32. Do you know anything about this software? Is it friendly with JAWS? i know it isn't free, but do you know how much it costs? So now I gave you some answers and some questions. it will be interesting to see what others have to say about this.

Although AVG had a few false positives avast has had more in the past 6 months or so than AVG did in to years. Yes at the time there was a major issue with AVG 8 but FS has done something on their end to repair what the AVG people broke if I understand things correctly. I'm looking for feedback and opinions especially if anybody out there has used both products over the years. I could go back to AVG easy enough but I am also considering some other folks who tend to follow my guidance because I do not want to steer them wrong either. David Ferrin Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
