Personally I wouldn't reccomend AVG, it lets too many things slip through. A few years ago I used to use AVG, I suspected that I had a virus and ran a full scan, which came up completely clean. I still suspected I had a virus and did the online scan from TrendMicro. My 'clean' system turned out to be dirtier than I thought, I had about 6-10 different infections that AVG didn't even see. For anti-virus I always reccomend norton, ONLY for anti-virus though. I don't allow any other norton software on my system.
I work as a computer technician and get infected PC's on daily bases. Once I had a PC that had 6 different viruses on him and Norton with latest updates didn't see any of them. Not a single one. On another occasion he detected about 3 viruses but couldn't remove any of them. I have loads of experiences as this. Not to mention major slowdowns (Microsoft Word sometimes takes whole minute to open up with this 'Antivirus') and lots of conflicts with other programs I saw. Generally I reccomend Norton only to those I really hate.
