You could say the same thing about MS Windows.

Or not since it’s the operating system and not an antivirus. You have a messed up system if Windows is running at almost 100% cpu usage, which I’ve seen Norton do.

“Their products gobble resources” = MS Windows.

There’s more to “resources” than just CPU usage.

I was having trouble with AVG on my previous desktop, so I switched to Avast. I found Avast to be somewhat non-intuative, so after running it for a bit on my new current desktop, I switched back to AVG. AVG immediately found 2 or 3 infections that Avast apparently missed.

However, would Avast have found any infections that AVG missed? Just trying to be fair.

I don’t like any of 'em, but if someone insists on a recommendation, I usually suggest AVG (free).

Good point, it may have even found more, in total, than AVG.
