A point of view worth studying further. I will be doing a search for comparison reviews. If you have any specific ones that you wish to share I will be grateful for the information. Thanks in advance.

So there are fewer AVG users on this list to share experiences with. Besides, according to recent comparison tests, AVG is no better at virus detection than MSE. If you really need the extra features that the paid version of AVG offers, then by all means stick with it. But for the rest of us, who just need basic real-time protection, MSE is a better alternative.
