I want a second opinion
I use AVG strictly and it has never let me down. I repair computers on a daily basis and as part of my routine I install avg + antispyware. I usually get between 500 - 4000 viruses after uninstalling macaffee or norton. I hear alot about avast and was wondering if I can hear any testimonials that would make me believe in avast more than AVG.
