In what particular way do you find avast! so inferior to AVG? Personally I find them both to be very competent. I find avast! less cumbersome to use and maintain, although AVG does have an edge in resource usage. And no matter how much money you fork out on anti-software, you are kidding yourself if you think it makes you 100% safe. |
