I currently have Avast but it isn't doing anything for me. In your opinion would AVG be better for my laptop? I have AVG Spyware Remover and I love that so I thought why not have AVG everything.
 
I've noticed that when I had AVG, it never caught any viruses but when i switched to avast, i found 3 viruses on my comp so I trust avast now.
 
Unless you really cannot afford to pay for a PC security suite, I would strongly recommend dropping AVG and Avast. I maintain quite a few computers and used to have either AVG or Avast supported with a mixture of adaware, spybot, etc, for their security setup. Unfortunately over the last year the number of manual cleanups and removals of malware I've had to carry out was becoming ridiculous. I looked into a number of antivirus / spyware test scores and realised AVG & Avast only protect against circa 90% of all known viruses (Letting through ONE in every TEN!?) compared to decent pay-for programs that consistnetly protect against 99.x%

With this knowledge I would now recommend Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who have all succeeded in keeping my maintenance work down compared to crappy free products.

However, if freebies are your bag, then I guess you're not going to find anything better...
 
AVG updates its core more often then avast, at least thats what i have seen, plus its virus check is much more powerful, but both are in my top list, so much luck
