AVG - WHATS EVERYONES TAKE ON IT? do you know of a better antivir?

[rich hathaway]

avg - for me it used to be a no-brainer to use it,it was better than average protection

and better than average price--free..lol

but this 2011 version makes me wish i had the 2010 back.

it constantly f's programs up and removes drivers,most of our pc's assigned ports are in the 200's now,making us have to re-assign ports to flash and we all know that screws things up.

even though we ad our softwares to exceptions it seems to ignore and blacklist or remove them anyway and screw up the com ports up.

every time i do a berry i gotta go into avg and disable it for 15 minutes or crack utility and desktop mngr wont work, putting my pc's at risk and it is just a pain in the ass.

so gurus what antivir do you use? is it pay or free and how does it "get along" with your phone and other softwares?

and do you have a link for it?

i thought we could use a thread like this here since most of us are either on our pc's alot or make our living on them. and i for one am about to be done with avg...

I just use Microsoft Security Essentials. It doesnt load up lots of services like AVG and it has a small footprint. I used to use AVG but now it feels like it has been bloated with unnecessary crap.

AVG is garbage. it corrupted my computer and couldnt even get it to turn on it would show windows login i would login and had a black screen and my mouse would move on screen i called AVG and they told me boot in safe mode so i tried and it didnt work and they told me that they have have no idea how to fix it or what caused it and basically told me i was beat and take it as a loss i then asked them who my lawyers contact and they told me they have no legal department i then told them i want a refund as i bought the program the same day and they told me they have no way to refund. i had AVG on another computer and i uninstalled it and when i uninstalled it all my drivers got deleted and all my flashing software and even some of my windows components were removed. AVG is the worse to use if you want a good free antivirus get avast ive never had problems with avast AVG is a joke

avg was a pain in the ass to get off, I just tried uninstalling it, when I restarted kept getting blue screen. had to system restore to before having avg..(I just put it on last month). moving on to kasper its only $25 for 3pcs/year on amazon

We use microsoft security essentials also. Haven't used AVG since last year when it failed me and allowed the salitine virus in. That's what led me to security essentials and haven't had any major problems since.
