For all you AVG users out there...
A month or so back, my mcafee expired so I installed and ran AVG and it came up with 0 problems. Now one of the files I have on my computer is a "virus" (all virus software seems to think it's a virus). AVG didn't detect it at all, I ran an updates, rescanned and all that jazz still didn't find it (even tough mcafee had detected it every time I scanned). Then I downloaded and installed Avira AntiVir and it found it along with 3 real viruses. So maybe if I were you I'd rethink using AVG.

The above link basically shows you the different anti-virus softwares that are most popular, and it displays their performance over the years (a gray-ish color meaning it's below everything, then ratings standard, advanced, advanced+) (it's also a comprehensive form of the PDF [which was only one segment of a year] I posted earlier).
If you looking for a anti virus and willing to pay a pretty penny I would strongly recommend
Kaspersky and as I said before if you want to go free,
Avira AntiVir is what I'm pushing for.
