AVG 8.0 is a total internet security suite like that of say a Norton, or Macafee, though unlike both Norton and Macafee, it actually works. If I remember correctly, Avast! is just an anti-virus, and in previous experience with it, it’s heuristics only seemed to pick up roughly two thirds of what AVG did, however I haven’t played with it in a while. Will check it out.
