But who uses AVG for anti-spyware? Probably a lot more people than we'd like to think..... Ive used AVG. It can be a reasonably good AV, if you can avoid that urge to click every fucking thing on your screen. I'm using Kapersky these days, and I'm reasonably happy with it. lol. I use a combination of AVG + Spyboy. I have sufficent ram to leave teatimer on all of the time which helps catch sneaky programing trying to change my registry. I had KAS7 but the software conflicts were just ridiculous so I didn't renew. I got it for $5 though after newegg's $50 rebate. i r sekz Posted at 8:58 am on Nov. 25, 2008 I never believe graphs created by a company to sell products.  Numbers can say anything, this is the first thing they teach you in psychology or any science class. Andrew S Posted at 7:11 am on Nov. 25, 2008 I have used, and still pretty much use AVG Free, and I haven't had any problems with it at all. soldierofjustice3 Posted at 7:29 am on Nov. 24, 2008 Quote: from obvious child at 9:11 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 Quote: from Byble at 5:16 am on Nov. 13, 2008  but still avg looks very crap.

I have used Bit Defender, Kaspersky, AVG, and Nod 32. And I have found that Nod 32 has missed stuff that either Kaspersky caught or Bid Defender got. Most reviews would even back this up. That being said, Nod 32 is not as good as that graph makes it out to be. seen as it was done by them i'm just thinking that like they chose viruses that they know thing... but still avg looks very crap.

Napster the Hacker Posted at 11:47 am on Nov. 4, 2008 i donno abt that,but I think AVG is good.

The graph proves that. The graph shows how many viruses AVG passed over and didn't catch it. AVG is the worst!

Dylan6405 Posted at 11:41 am on Nov. 4, 2008 NOD32 is the best, but not free. Best free is Avira Antivir. AVG is getting out of the free stuff, by next year the free AVG will be discontinued they have said. Most recent 15 of 16 previous replies displayed.
