Hi Sarah, I’m using NOD32 and so far its performance is good but I don’t think it provides all the security you mentioned above. Can you recommend a much better AVG for me? Thanks!
Try PCKeeper a fully functional trial version for 15days. I’m using it and found it superior than present AVs, it has almost every options which AV should provide: Antivirus, Anti-Theft, Cleaning Utilities, HDD Utilities, Registry Utilities, File Recovery, Data Hider, File Shredder, Geek on Demand (screen sharing) options most of the AVs doesn’t offer.
