The free AVG Antivirus better than Norton??

What is your opinion over that??



For me here 's the pro:



Pros: 1) Computer's with low RAM, like say, only 256 MB or below, should use AVG. It hardly slows down pc startup unlike Norton or other commercial anti-viruses.



2) For those who have heard that Avast! is better, well maybe but I find Avast!'s full system scans to be terribly slow. It took me more than an hour to complete a full scan with Avast! On the other hand, AVG only took about 25 minutes and it doesn't use too much RAM during these scans too so I can do something else like web browsing without being slowed down.



3) There's no technical support for this free edition but at least there's a forum. Better than Norton which doesn't even have a forum, right?



4) Has about all the features you'll need in an anti-virus.



5) Super fast updating. Updates are frequent too.



6) Efficient automatic updating (I have Norton on another PC and it's slow to automatically update- if there's any).



7) Here's a nice one, AVG has a feature

Where do these people come from who freely give inaccurate answers. AVG is an excellent product that is free and does a great job.



Norton is a bloated resource hog that is not even Norton anymore...it was bought by Symantec years ago....which has destroyed one of the great names in computing!
