Question by Miroku: AVG vs Microsoft Sec. Essentials?
AntiVirusGuard (Free Edition) vs. Microsoft Security Essentials.
What is the point in AVG? I have been using it for years and no problem (that’s because I don’t go to illegal/bad websites) but when I let my parents use my computer (they always go to this asian drama website), I always get all these viruses which AVG would detect but when I try to click on the option of removing the threat, it says “access denied/cannot remove” and said I have to be a power user in order to do so. If so, what the heck is the point in having AVG at all? (same for all the other free antiviruses). AVG lets you know you have a virus after it attacks and is installed but doesn’t let you delete it before it gets installed while on the other hand
I just got windows 7 and installed Microsoft Sec. Essentials and it is able to detect the virus right away, stopped it from functioning, and lets you remove it. Thank God!
My question is: Should I just go ahead and remove AVG? I am really annoyed at how stupid that thing is…..

You don’t need two antivirus softwares running at the same time. It’ll slow your computer down. Just delete AVG, and stick with Microsoft Security…. PFFFfft HAHAHAHAHAHA

Answer by Fimerapo
i’m using Avast! Free Antivirus 5.0. The new version has been released on their website. It s a freeware. You can register yourself on the avast website to recive the registration key . They provide timely updates (small in size, ie. In kb’s. Which s usefull for people with limited internet plans ). It s fully legal n it generates a virus recovery database to report avast about the new viruses .
To detect n delete malwares on your comp use malware bytes . Another free software . N a powerfull tool to clean your comp of malwares. I use these softwares myself .

AVG. Malwarebytes is also pretty decent. But if you had an Apple you would not need to ask this question.
