I had nothing but trouble for the few hours I tried AVG. Then I got avast!, and I recommend it highly. I've been using for a week with no problems, and the first scan I ran (on the first day) picked up two viruses that both AVG and Norton had missed. It is as free as AVG (and, if AVG can't clean things, even more free), and lacks the extensive bloat that seems to plague the major ones (Norton, PC-Cillan, McAffee, etc).
