Quote:I switched to it as well, as AVG doesn't run on 64-bit Windows XP. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far I am happy with it.
I switched the other day and am giving it a test run. so far it seems much better than AVG. the fact that it updates in the background is very strong especially for gamers. no longer will i have to smack my forehead as oblivion crashes to desktop when the AVG update pops up. my only minor nit about the update occuring in the background is that while it updates i've experienced some serious application slowdown. read: Instant messenger would not open and because i had no idea AVS was updating i wasn't exactly sure why things were moving so slow. I qualify this by noting that it may have just been because of the fresh install -> major update, and going forward the updates may not have as serious an impact on performance. we'll see.
