Re: SP3 vs McAfee led to Norton disaster said by Vampirefo:
You get what you pay for, AVG is a good free AVP, FREE being the keyword here, But it's not as good as McAfee nor
NAV.
I don't see this.
AVG Free version is the EXACT same thing as their Pro pay $$$ version except you don't have the Advanced menu which lets you choose which drives to scan (the Free version scans all drives).
There's no differece between protection ability, just because it's free. It uses the same DAT files as the pay version.
Are you saying that McAfee or NAV will protect against some virii whereas AVG (Free and Pay) won't?
Didn't mean to get off-topic, I was only chiming in my own experience that McAfee's crappy DLLs have locked up my computers and AVG never has. It was a suggestion to the OP to uninstall the big heavies and go with something leaner and not so buggy.
I just need to understand better what makes McAfee or NAV better. If it's application options -- OK. If it's protection against virii, then I need hard evidence.  |
