    Hi,we need to know which antivirus program does the most complete job for virus protection and removal--Avast free home,or ,Avg free.We know Avast adds 4 more programs to "task manager" than Avg does,so does that represent Avast doing a more complete job?
    Thanks for any information

    They both detect viruses well, but in my opinion, and others also, Avast seems to be better at removing them. Select the custom installation option and you have the option of leaving out any of the four sub-programs. For instance, since I don't have Outlook, I didn't install the Outlook virus scanner module so I wouldn't waste storage and computer resources for something I didn't need.

    Prefer Avast myself. Changed from AVG to Avast. Love the way Avast checks for updates seamlessly and updates as necessary. Been a long time since I used AVG so maybe AVG now does it as well. Your choice. Bazza
