No experience with AVG.

This one is not fully functional antivirus (with background monitor and daily updates), it’s only a scanner for quick fix if you know system is or might be infected.

I hardly catch any viruses myself so more interest in tools that help clean existing mess on other PCs than prevent it.

For Internet connected PCs I’d say good firewall might be more important and useful then antivirus. Assuming person isn’t clicking everything looking for trouble. Need to do a post on firewall.

I was using AVG a while ago, but somehow I stopped using it after a drive format. I don't know if you have used AVG in the past, but if so how do you think it compares?
