Having used both AVG 7.5 and 8.0 over say 3 years..my initial thoughts are I much rather AVG 7.5. REASON..the scheduler. I have it to Auto start at 2 am and 7.5 always followed the program, but 8.0 starts when I start to work at 8am and defintely slows me down. I think the problem is the program will not engage when your computer is a sleep as it would be 2am in the morning. so to get over this "anoying" problem, I just pause the AVG program and restart it when I go away from the computer but it is a problem. The good thing is AVG 8.0 does identify alot of spyware and tracking cookies on your computer. Here is hoping that they resolve the scheduling issue

AS far as McAfee..I would not give you a plug nickel for that program....it practically stopped my computer from working and i was never comfortable with it.
