Back when I got completely fed up with Symantec/Norton because of that goddamn WS.Reputation.1 horseshit and switched over to Avast, right before I made the switch, it had been pretty much a coin flip as to whether I went with Avast or AVG. Not that Avast didn't and doesn't have its own issues (as that very link points out [though since then, after disabling all that shit, I haven't had any real problems out of it]), but right now because of the shit you talk about above, it makes me so glad that I did go with Avast over AVG. Well, at least until it is shown at some point that Avast does or will do similar horseshit, which is easily possible.
