As far as I'm concerned, the point of contention is not which is better... but the fairness of the comparison, sir Kit.
Ok, danj0... I'll try to make this easier to understand.
Duh, Grisoft sells software. Everyone who downloads AVG Free knows that. They just happen to put out some freeware to entice customers with greater demands. Panda has nothing that competes with that. If I'm wrong, please give the URL of the free thing you're talking about. Ang nakikita ko lang kasi e yung online scanner nila (Activescan).
Now, as for
Pandasoftware Antivirus, the AVG counterpart I was hinting on was
AVG Internet Security. So, if you want to compare, use these two packages.
On another note, I use AVG, Ad-Aware (the new version looks cool) and Spybot myself. And I'm happy with them. The only attack that got through me in several years of use was the Lipa thing on IE. And that caught just about all protection software by surprise.
Though admittedly, I'd probably try this other anti-spyware whose name escapes me at the moment once I can afford to pay for it. Or maybe pay for Ad-Aware for real-time protection if it proves to be a good product.
All-in-one software packages are great assuming they can handle all its functionality really effectively. Such isn't always the case, in my experience (not with Panda). Anyways, it's great that you can actually afford to pay for that.
Finally, if I was the only one who insinuated that you were putting down AVG Free, I'd apologize. Fortunately for me, that is not the case. Phrases like,
nde nga maganda AVG eh.. kinda gave us that impression. Fine, I'll take note if you're the one saying that. hahahaha.
