For what it is worth, I had AVG for years then got a virus because the
update servers weren't working for several days. When I did finally get
the update, AVG promptly identified the virus and removed it. I then
dumped AVG and loaded Avast and it immediately found 2 more viri. Avast
has since saved my hide several times. I will not recommend AVG under any
circumstances. Other than that, they are both fine products.
