AVG Corrupt? Anti-virus
zat0x91:
If I was to recommend an anti virus, it'd be NOD32 without a doubt.

Avira has been my AV for nearly 8 years. Its not perfect, but it beats the other two.

AVG, sure, but where's your evidence for Avast?

Easy, personal experience. I had a virus that Avast couldn't detect, which AVG only found parts of and which only Avira managed to fully eradicate for me.
Apparently, Avast became a bit better over the years, as it used to be even worse than AVG at the time (we're talking about three years ago), now it's the other way around.
Still, Avira is stil the best choice for AV: http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/main-tests
Note that this site lists the paid version of said AVs, though this site pretty much says the same for the free versions.

Meh ive found avast to be pretty good. It may not be perfect; but it beats norton, pc-cillin and alot of others.

Another Avast user here, Just as good as the paid AVs out there. Used to use Command AV years ago then it was bought out and converted into mainly a business/enterprise product.

I've heard good things about Avast, but never tried myself. Avira has always had people screaming bloody murder for "false positives" or w/e but it's a SETTING you can change yourself. Avast have the same thing?
