So, let’s see how Avast and AVG antivirus stack up against these parameters.įirst up is the aptly named Avast, defending your PC against would-be pirates, identity thieves, and just run of the mill jerks who want to damage your PC for the sheer fun of it.Īvast comes in a free version and an ultimate protection version which can either protect one PC for around $70 a year, or ten devices for around $80 a year.
#AVG ANTIVIRUS VS AVAST INSTALL#
Just remember that the next time someone tells you that you don’t need virus protection simply because you are running an Apple product.īasically, what you want from an antivirus is a product that doesn’t just protect you from known threats, but updates regularly to defend you from brand new and evolving viruses that emerge after you install the antivirus protection itself.Īlso, you want a product that not only defends your PC, but makes sure that your digital footprint and identity is secure no matter how or where you browse, noting whether you have been compromised either on a phone, tablet or laptop no matter where your original install location was.Īlso, you want your antivirus software to allow your PC to run smoothly, not interfering with the general running of your PC in any way other than regular scans and general defense as you use your computer – no slowdowns, start-up issues or blacklisting of trusted programs to worry about. Mac products like iMacs and Macbooks are all just as vulnerable when it comes to viruses if only targeted a little less. There has been a long-standing myth that Apple products can’t get Viruses – and this just isn’t true.
#AVG ANTIVIRUS VS AVAST PATCH#
Hackers are nasty but productive people, and you can bet that for every new Windows patch that irons out vulnerabilities that viruses have been exploiting, a whole host of new malware has taken its place – meaning that your computer is constantly under threat of being compromised.Īnd don’t think that this is limited to PC either.
Ok, before I kick off into a total Avast vs AVG battle, lets talk about what important features we need to look out for in antivirus software just that when we compare, we can declare a clear winner.įirstly, let’s talk about virus’ themselves.
