Not only can (AVG) be easily and immediately unloaded so you can install software, drivers, run scandisk, defrag, etc... but I ran some tests, and Norton failed several (4) of them, while AVG passed them all! The only thing I don't like about AVG is having to wait 30 days for new definition updates. If on the 1st day AFTER a new update some new malicious codes are found, you have to wait 30 days to be protected from them. The AVG people really should do something about this, and could be why they have not surpassed NAV in popularity. Unfortunately AVG consumes 3% more resources that NAV 5, but less than 2002 & 2003.
Clint,
I've used AVG for over a year now. Possibly, I don't understand what you are saying about having to wait 30 days for updates because I have updated many, many times, once twice in one week. It always seemed they were right on top of every new problem that surfaced. I update on the average of twice a month.....flawlessly every time. What a great program!
Something else AVG is good about.....most of the time I forget to turn off AVG to load a new program but I have never had a problem because of leaving it on and running.
