MS Security Essentials vs AVG vs Avast: Round 2
Earlier, in a post comparing MS Security Essentials, AVG and Avast, I recommended taking a look at MS Security Essentials as your best free antivirus. Since then, I’ve seen a lot of customers get re-infected with this antivirus solution installed. Meanwhile, Avast has made their registration process a lot easier. I now recommend Avast. Although Avast 5 Free lacks extra features like antispam, a sandbox, a Script shield, and a firewall, it’s not crippled like AVG free because it still detects rootkits.
Anyone think Avira beats out Avast 5 Free? Leave a message in the comments if you have anything to add regarding these two.
