I use AVG. Haven't had any issues with it except I went through a stage where I kept having to delete two .ctr files all the time(cause the automatic updates would stop) and then reload all the updates.

However, that hasn't happened for months now so perhaps it was either an issue at their end that they fixed or whatever the problem at my end that was causing it has stopped.

I have never used Avast. I tried some free trials for Kaspersky and one other (can't remember) and didn't see the value in paying for their 'extra' features that aren't provided free with AVG.

Any 'extra' features I want I get with other software I already have.
