I used to really like AVG, but I don't recommend it anymore. It's just gotten too big and drifted too far away from its roots. We haven't had any real problems with it though, other than 1 upgrade that the user botched somehow.
I try to remember that, for users, antivirus software is a nuisance. They don't want something that requires a lot of their attention, and they don't want something that slows down their system. They don't even want to be able to suspect their antivirus software of having any kind of negative impact on their system.
They just want to get work done, look at pictures, browse the web, play games, that sort of thing.
It's funny: I remember when Norton was really great, especially its disk tools. Then it got bloated, slow, and ugly, and McAfee came along and was great. Then McAfee got bloated, slow, and ugly, and there was AVG. Then AVG...
I'm sure Avira will do the same thing, so we're keeping an eye out for the next best thing.
