AVG has been my favorite free antivirus software, and later paid version of it. But the new versions became an annoyance because it pops up every now and then rather than staying in the background quietly doing its job. It also began to block some legitimate functions of my other software.

AVG would have been still the best if Microsoft didn’t release their latest Windows Security Essential for free. It works quietly in the background so it doesn’t disrupt my work. Sometimes, I have to check it to make sure it’s still there.

Some people might argue that AVG does more than WSE does, but I am using Windows platform, and I guess Microsoft should know its own software than others do. Since I don’t visit suspicious sites, or open suspicious links from any unknown email, I don’t need more than the protection I already have.

I would still reconsider AVG, if it stays in the background quietly doing it’s great job.
