Avast is far superior to AVG. It has a better detection rate.
Recent versions of Ad-Aware are junk. The best free antispyware as of now is SUPERantispyware, followed by Malwarebytes Anti-malware.

I should also point out that Firefox will not protect you. While firefox is not a bad web browser, if you really care about protecting your computer, you would use Opera. Opera is and always has been the most secure web browser on the Windows platform.

I'd bet a lot ot "tech guys" actually get a new computer every 3 years

(3 years is OLD for a computer)

I think every 3 years is about average in my house for a new machine. This laptop should last through to graduation fall 2010.


I would bet a lot of tech guys build a new machine every 6-12 months.

i managed to unroot it with "avast!". it's pretty good for that sort of thing. spybot, nod32, .... there are a few others out there but those are the main ones i use. general spam, spybots, and tricky trojans removing programs. the internet is nice and all but it's full of traps.

Well.... That's not entirely accurate

They are working on it already, supposed to support 128Bit architecture

true.. but it'd be confusing to give Windows7 the name "Windows 8" while still retaining the original product name

I never thought they were bad to begin with. I've been using AVG for years and have yet to find anything better.

In my experience, AVG Free leaves a lot to be desired. The best ones I've used are NOD32, Kaspersky, and Bit Defender. For free solutions, I prefer Avast. Rising Antivirus was also a good one, but I believe they discontinued their free edition.
