what do you mean delete my thread...............i'm asking a perfectly honest question here !

i'm trying to get feedback from experienced pc users to decide on the best anti-virus for me.

Going to avast! forums and asking whether you should choose Avira or AVG makes zero sense. Wrt AV choice - do your own decision based on your needs.

i'm not quite happy with AVG but since it's free, it's okay..............

my friend suggested that avast is the best so far...................while on another forum, someone told me to try Avira.................. ???

Avira: good detection rate. Poor updates, extremely annoying popups, miss a lot of configurations.
AVG: bad update scheme, poor configurability.

Add horrible support to that - vendor tech support absolutely not communicating, web forum unusable due to "antispam" measures, moderators playing a scratched record strategy.  :-X
