eTrust would be a better choice IMO....Its lighter on my PC and has better detection (at least in my experience), and the interface is quite nice too.

Hi Firecat: Do you know what the clean ability is between these two. I have been doing some looking at the threads on tests, and now have my doubts as to if they really mean all that much, can you give us your opinion. Oh by the way I had tried E-Trust, but found that AVG worked better on my system, just goes to show that as I have said what works on one system may not do that well on an other.

Thanks

The etrust Vet engine cleans actually pretty darn well where as the inoculate engine is not quite as good but still respectable.

I wouldn't recommend AVG, it's never worked well for me.

Please enlighten us as to what has been improved, and of course you know I am going to ask, can they deliver it with no more hassle?

Thanks
