I found some quirks with Avast.. it cause error messages with IE.. that was always coming up. Once uninstalled that stopped. And I noticed same of longer spells between updates.. I have the free version of AVG at this point which allows for ONE auto update but I do several times a day manually search and have found sometimes 3 updates per day..

However, a friend of mine, who is in the PC business tells me that AVAST Free is superior in that it does not slow a PC as much. I have d'l'd Avast and can't recognise any speed differences, and have not had an update thus far (36hours) from it, but have had 2 from AVG. Is thisa message? I tend to believe it is saying AVG is better. Any comments?
