Comparing Freeware Antivirus Titans: Avira, Avast & AVG
See a long list of freeware here: www.duncsweb.com Here I compare the 3 major free Antiviruses all inside a virtual machine (same hardware, files, disk) I added 24 seconds to Avast Virus scan stopwatch because I started the scan and forgot to start the stopwatch and started when i paused the video. Also (thanks for the info robferro) I scanned on medium sensitivity. Total time was 3mins20 for Avast.

Avira
i did have avira but i hated the beeping. i think avast is great.
not fair avg sanned more
Avg is not as good now
@425618 i think it is called slan xp
nice video but keygenpawned.co.cc is have more usefull stuff of kaspersky everything there is free they already released kaspersky 2011 3 years license key
hi mobile phone can u plz provide me the theme ur using i really love it.
Tried avast , I could even get on the internet, it lock up. Uninstall it and I’m back to normal. Tried Avira works..on issues so far.
@YumiNguyenz yea but a least avast is faster than avg and avira i mostly recommend avast,but if you want you could turn off avast setting that makes it talk for example when theirs an update avast says and talks “updated something??”but you could turn it off with silent mode or going to settings
@chris123qwe1 so when i play game i need to play with silent mode from avast?
@catadeluxe avast
avast comes with silent mode i have avast internet scurity and i play games for example counter strike,call of duty,etc so avast is good it runs smooth i noticed when i changed from mcafee to avast
Good luck getting a refund if you need it- The software is great but it conflicts with another program and there is no way to completely shut off AVG - not even taking it out with run>msconfig>startup etc. It still loads about 7 different executable files that suck up system resources. Only noticeable though if you’re running graphic intensive programs like driving sims. but it when it came time for a refund they gave me the run around then ceased communication with me.
@YumiNguyenz use avast i had a virus wich was a music file and avira never detected it and with avst not only didi it detecy it but it deleted it as well
AVG main problem, there is no rootkit protection for free av.
@YumiNguyenz Avast 5 ofcource!
Avast 4.8 or Avast 5.0 is better???
Say is it okay to install 2 antiviruses in 1 computer?
Coz i’ve heard about system clashes and all..
I’m currently using a Norton360[my friend paid for me. =)] and I wanted to use Avira(I was using this last time and it’s good).
@YumiNguyenz use avast is best its help you much i have avast its best
I like Avira & Avast but i don’t know which 1 should i use for gaming???? can anyone give me some idea? TY
i always used avast had no problems, although the newer versions 5.0 is a bit looking annoying, so i sticked with the older 4.8 version and am very happy of what it does. literally it stops or prevents on viruses coming from anywhere whether its external drive or net, it has a alarm tipe of notice stating a virus so you most likely just of a sound press option given abort connection or delete file( you can try fix it too). so yeah thanks for video i think Avast is still a king on free-ware AV’s
if you people stop watching porn you wont need antivirus!
Neither are good, you need norton anti virus, it’s here for free:
