After installing Avast, the familiar temporary freeze was back - such as when I download a file in Firefox or browse a folder in Windows Explorer.Īt first I was reluctant to believe it. Before installing Avast, I had little to no computer performance issues.

The second thing was to install avast! Free Antivirus. However, I came to the realization Avast was also causing those temporary freezes.Īfter I reformatted my computer, and the first thing I did was install Firefox. And, to be fair, the bloatware did play its part yesterday after reformatting my computer to get rid of the bloatware, I noticed an increase in performance. I blamed this poor performance on bloatware that came with my computer - bloatware I foolishly didn’t remove. (Laziness is too stronk.) But it was bad enough to be bloody annoying.
It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t deal with it, which is why I put up with it for eighteen months. You see I’ve been plagued with an issue for the past eighteen months or so: my computer would often temporarily freezes whenever browsing for or downloading files or opening programs. Yesterday, however, I made the switch back to Avira. I originally started with Avira, but over three years ago switched over to Avast due to Avast’s superior features in their free version.

So I ditched paid anti-virus for free ones. Soon after, I discovered something I never could fathom before: free anti-virus/anti-malware programs, specifically Avira, Avast, and AVG.

Avast might detect a threat that Avira doesn't, or vice-versa.Įdited by xblindx, 06 March 2010 - 10:49 AM.The first ever anti-virus/anti-malware program I used was Kaspersky, a 1-year 3-user license I purchased from Wal-Mart for $60. So again I say, its really down to personal preference because avast or Avira isn't going to stop every virus. Have to babysit it while it scans (it prompts you what to do whenever it finds a virus, yes you can make it automatically quarantine, but that is only AFTER it has found at least 1 virus in the scan)Īvast: Haven't really found many except the scan speed may be just a TINY bit slow, but I am running a very old system.Īvira: The best detection rates of any free AV, but sadly, also one of the highest false positive AVs.Īvast: Very fast updates, high detection rates, medium level of false positives but definition updates solve this problem quickly.īoth programs have great real-time protection, as well as amazing scan and removal methods. Updates sometimes don't work, or are extremely slow. Here is what I foundĪvira: Slow, confusing interface.
Personally, I would go with whichever you choose, they both have their Pros and Cons, I used Avira for around 3 years, and just recently switched to avast! 5 while it was still in beta. The paid version of Avira includes those features as well. Wrong, the anti-spam and built in firewall are only in the paid for version of avast!. I recommend you Avast, which is better among these antivirus programs, it can give your computer real-time protection and also it has anti-spam filter and a built-in firewall I just use it for some time,it really performs great!
