Solve : AVG free, good scanner??

Answer»

I just DOWNLOADED avg free (free.grisoft.com) & installed, because a lot of people told me it was good, but is it? I downloaded some viruses (like psp downgrader) and none of the files were detected! Does anyone has good expierences with avg free, or know a test virus because I don't think avg stops a virus :sGoogle for eicar.

I downloaded Icar, even before the post, and NOTHING happened. Norton provides PSP downgrader as a virus...

I'm a bit worried that avg don't stop any viruses. However auto-protect is on. Is it because I have avg FREEThat's strange, I just tried to download eicar & AVG stopped it straight away?
Are you sure you have the AVG Resident Shield turned on? Quote

after the reboot it found the virus. But it still don't stop the psp downgreader...I think Norton made a test Virus only Norton could find. This WOULD "help" people like you who are SMART enough to question each scanner pick what they feel is the "right" scanner. Wouldn't surprise me, anyway.Keep using Norton if it makes you happy. Quote

No it doesn't. I tested with a program my startup time (I think it was boofish, whatever) and with norton on my computer the startup time was doubled! Ok, I know antivirus slow down you computer, but I don't want that it really "BLOCKS" my computer...All AV has different procedure in scanning
and i read from other forum the same.
Some of them if they found its a virus, they delete it automatically, but some not and some cannot delete it, you must do it manually.

 psp downgreader--is it a virus?

Norton-- its a little bit sensitive (even "key GENERATOR" its virus for NAV)
im using AVG in start-up and optional KASPERSKY
