so is avast better than avg??

**Roadrunna** · 17-10-2007, 08:01 PM

Seems to be heading that way

AVG has missed out on a few things recently and started slowing up so I swapped to Avast

ive got them both running on the main pc, and yep avast seems to catch more

don't 2 antivirus systems work against each other tho??

my last pc i had avg and pre-installed norton and was forever having problems and got told the 2 programmes were fuckin each other (so to speak)

that said,after installing avg on this one i have noticed how much slower its become

some will, some won't.

It won't help things overall by having 2 AV packages on tho. Especially if they decide to scan at the same time

Mick, the reason for your conflicts is that Norton conflicts with everything

Avast is doing pretty well on my machine at the mo & that's saying something cos it's got 1.2 terrabytes to keep an eye on

are they kept in an aquarium

i'll look at this avast then,anything to speed it up

Yep, drop AVG and Norton then give Avast a go.

As above with the Hijackthis stuff, if you want me to have a look then just run it through and mail me the results

Download this program (Hijackthis) http://www.merijn.org/files/HiJackThis_v2.exe

Do a system scan with logfile and email the logfile to me on

I'll have a look and see if there's anything particularly out of order.

Once that's done,

Download the latest version of Avast antivirus, Adaware and spybot.

Leave them running till they're finished.

If you can do the hijackthis log first it'll give me a better view of any crap in case the antivirus\adware progs don't remove things fully.

Si

Will do, cheers!

And I see now how Norton works. It protects your machine by making the internet such a pain in the arse to use that you never turn your pc on!

Thus making it a £300 game of solitaire.
