AVG failed to detect dozens of viruses and malware on my sister's computer that Avast cleared out. Avast isn't perfect, but they're both free, and it's my experience that Avast is more reliable than AVG. As always, YMMV.
Same thing here on a smaller scale, AVG let in two viruses on its watch, though it did have the decency to let me know that they were there, after they installed themselves. I switched my parents computer to Avast. Have not had a problem except for having to reregister each year and I was able to walk my mother through that. Also on the plus side, I actually appreciate its verbal alert that a new virus database has been installed, I can always check with my parents that everything is good by asking them if they have heard the computer update recently.
