AVG a natural for vista

I am trialing AVG+ firewall, not too interested in the firewall but this runs well on Vista & extremely llight good system performance. It has always been knocked as not being up to par with the big AV's but it's recent #'s perhaps mean I should give this a look.. Has anyone here had good or bad experiences with it?

 

AVG+firewall has lower detection rates than the AVG Anti-Malware product, which is what is tested at AV-test and AV-comparatives nowadays. Even so, the AVG engine in AVG+firewall is pretty good by itself though.

AVG has always been light and fast for me with excellent value for money; I am extremely impressed by it.

 

If you don't need the firewall then avg anti-malware is a good option. Its run great on every system i've used it on.

 

Silverman, who has the computer column at the Houston Chronicle (and syndicated elsewhere) recommended AVG free with Vista. He was using Windows Defender for spyware and the built in Vista firewall.

I have not seen any tests on using Windows Defender in conjunction with any AV to see how the combination does.

 

i agree, if the OP is not interested in the firewall, anti-malware is the place to go.
