Which seems to be the best. I do like how avast pormpts me when there is a questionable file.

Opinions please.

Difficult to compare, one is an online scanner one isn't.

It's best to have the software installed, assuming having both softwares installed (Not online) on your machine I would go Avast over AVG.

Find Avast is better at detection/removal.
