Avast or Kaspersky?

Postby mbamdude58 » Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:39 pm

I have installed Avast! 6 now 7 Internet Security just this 2011 and it's about to expire this Month I was wondering if I should go with Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 or Avast! 7 Internet Security I watched www.youtube.com/user/mrizos review for both softwares both look good so which one should I go with?

I think you should stick with avast. Matts review was on removal with avast. Matt even said avast! Removal abilitys might not be good but if you have avast! On a clean pc you are pretty dam protected. I'm sure avast is working on its removal abilitys they do listen to their users. I'm sure they have already seen matts vid. I think prevention is key and that's why I think you should stick with avast.

Kaspersky is a good suite can be heavy at times though and have slow scanning speeds... i also personally like avasts UI better than Kaspersky's new one. but ever since i switched i dont have any problems with slow downs and ive always seen avast great with prevention so clean machine you should be good :) (if your not sure malwarebytes and hitman pro are great on demand not to get off topic) but yea i would even recommend just avast free if you dont want a paid solution.

My choice would have to be Avast because it's much lighter on the system and has (in my opinion) better detecion rate.

i don't get why someone would use kis (for prevention) instead of avast, kis is a resource hog and has slow scan speeds and you have to pay for it.
