If you have a 64-bit Windows 7 installation, and use AVG, be careful with updates...

hadn't heard about any problems - but I just changed to Avast yesterday having decided I didn't like AVG anymore

I guess I was lucky them

Another vote for Avast, i changed from AVG this time last year after a few problems.

I just changed to Avast from AVG as I was not sure it was working to well.My PC had slowed right down and Avg had not detected a problem but Avast found a Trojan on the first scan and seems to have removed it ok.It runs much quicker now and Avast seems to use a lot less memory or else the Trojan was using all my memory.
