    AVG is good since it is free. But it gives so many alerts without telling you what to do about it. For example I get a pop up each time I visit practically any site it gives three ominous options - "Add to exceptions" (what if it is dangerous, you decide - how would I know), "Go to file" (what will I do going to the file) or "Ignore the threat" (Ignore! and...then what? Will it not sit on my computer for ever?)

    I had used Avast - it was more "silent" except for the loud virus updation notification ( you can turn it off). Not sure whether the silence is because it manages everything or is it because it could not find anything.
