Free Virus Software: AVG vs Kaspersky

As promised I've compared AVG Free Edition to Kaspersky's trial edition.

Ok, here's the low down

AVG Free Edition 26.4 MB
2.5 minutes to run setup after download
scan time 2 hrs 27 minutes
threats found 2

Kaspersky AntiVirus 7 23.62 MB
2.0 minutes to run setup after download
scan time >1 hr
threats found 3









AVG is very easy to set up, fast scanning and was easy to
uninstall. All in all it is a good Virus Software for the price
(FREE).

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0! was also easy to install and uninstall. It was
faster scanning than AVG taking less than an hour to complete. It also
was slightly more effective finding 3 threats when AVG only found 2.

So the final word is IMOHO Kaspersky nudges out AVG by a hair.
