I have seen it delete things that AVG may find but not be able to remove. go to the avast home page and look at the 1000 awards it has recieved. There are many different editions for professionals and the lay person, but they are not free. The casual home user cannot lose. |

Well, after a little bit of looking, I found this: http://blog.shankarganesh.com/2007/11/07/avg-vs-avast/
The scanning while the screensaver is active and during boot sound interesting. I may give it a try next time I boot into Windows.

But I also see what is beautiful, what is wonderful. And I feel so deeply appreciative that I am alive. How dare the religious use the term 'born again.' That truly describes freethinkers who've thrown off the shackles of religion so much better!” - Julia Sweeney |

I uninstalled/reinstalled/reupdated it and same thing.
Very sad, after 6+ years of avast I have to switch to AVG. | | |
