I use it for spyware and microsoft security essentials for anti virus. both are free and work good. frank [Reply]  [No Email]

I personally like avast better. I felt like avg slowed my computer more. No matter which one you choose, be sure to also run spybot. My wife is a Facebook nut and we've not had any virus issues (knock on wood) even though she's tried her best to download a few. [Reply]  [No Email]

The guy that cleaned up my wife's laptop put commodo on hers and the one I use for a radio in the garage has nothing. It had Avast on it but it really slowed it down so I took it off.

I have Webroot on my computer, but it costs $50. Only reason I have it, is it was thrown in when I bought a new computer. [Reply]  [No Email]

Both are free and will protect you well. I've never had abug that they didn't detect and remove. I've never witnessed any loss in PC performance using these tools. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]
