AVG free edition. Have had no regrets since dumping NAV on several PCs a few months ago.

Noticeable performance improvements.

AVG free edition handles emails only.

The problem with AVG is updates are provided on a low priority basis.

Only one automatic daily update and no technical support. With that aside AVG is in the top five free anti-virus programmes.

It's always best to run a once a month online scan to cross check your own one.

1. How many daily updates does NAV do? I recall 1 a day there, too.

2. Have you ever tried dealing with Syamtec support? I've never needed support for AVG, versus several issues I've had to contact Symantec about or comb through their knowledgebase.
