Pros: It is very good on my XP Pro PC, it can take up to only 20 seconds to scan the full registry for errors, after it finds the safe to remove errors, removing them is completely safe, if removing something causes an error, just goto the restore function and recover it
This is a lot safer than PCTools registry mechanic but it finds less problems
Cons: Speed of the deep scan to check the unknown items is slow

Pros: Sounds good...
Cons: Email scanner cut off after 30 days, Lots of problems, Causes BSoD, Low detection rates, Unfriendly interface, Real-time protection very bad.
Compare this to Avast! Home Edition 4.8 and you will see that avast is definitely better than AVG, For AVG you have to manual update because auto-updates expire after 30 days and you have to use manual scan to pick up any viruses(It's very rare that AVG will pick up anything other than EICAR test file), For Avast! you just install it let it do boot-scan, move all infected files to chest then just let your computer startup and then you're clean forever(Very unlikely any virus will get past the 7 shields, Probably wont even get past the web shields), and avast auto updates silently, pops-up a small blue box saying avast has been updated then says out load through speakers "Virus Database has been updated!"

Pros: Very secure software, now with an anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in. "To nigc""Avast! Does not need a scheduler for scans, because the real time protection is very fast and prevents viruses entering from the internet at all, inserting a scan scheduler would take more space and make it bad"
I have just updated to this small new update, it has made my computer go as fast as when I never had Anti-Virus, ALWIL, Great job on the new update now i am secure and fast!!!
Avast! Beats AVG, and look @ Bangsonpc.com 's test results for Avast! vs AVG, I tested the results on a virtual pc and i got the same results other than now avast 4.8 blocks all viruses and some spyware
Anyone who uses AVG/Norton is crazy because Avast! 4.8 beats AVG 8 and AVG 7.5 and all Norton products and its completely free(There is not any nagware in Avast Home(Unlike Avira which nags you everytime you startup) Also Avast! 4.8 Home Does not disable any features when you are using it(Unlike AVG which cuts off email protection after 3 days)
Cons: None

Pros: looks good, sounds good
Cons: This software gave me the BSOD after restarting after install, i had to go into safe mode to remove it and stopped the BSOD's, Comodo is better because Comodo is stronger than Zonealarm pro and its free and it contains any features you had in zone alarm
