It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Thanks for the video @safe1st!! Looks like the only thing they really need to work on is PUP detection but i guess we shall see what the future has in store for this company. See if being acquired by Avast will hurt or improve either company.

great test
AVG used very high memory :eek:
hopefully, avast will combine both engines to make a better AV

Maybe... slightly better in detection ratio. Since Avast free and AVG free, Avast free has good features.
Avast should add AVG engine, IF they have plan to combine. But... I dont think they will do it

Thanks everyone
and have a great weekend! :)

the great news is, vlk said they are working on to combine those 2 engines into a single engine with goodies from both. Beta testing would probably available at the end of this year :cool:

Avg did good.
As most security products they also need to improve PUP detection.
My only complain is that it has a lot of processes. I hope also this would be solved by Avast.
Thanks for another great review @safe1st and have a nice weekend you too:)
