hey thanks for sharing AVG is really great
Hey I use Avast and I think it works really well… runs in the background, updates automatically, and you never even see it unless it finds something. Definitely something I would recommend.
Good list!! thanks

@Naveed - I’ve used AVG for around 10 years and it’s still one of the best!
