100% spot on
AVG updates def.inf file when you start your PC/LAPTOP.
spybot you just update before you scan.
ad-aware is the best and you also update before you scan.and there add-block is easy to use.
PC Guard is always checking back and using bandwidth. and windows own firewall is better(i have a NAT enabled router so no need for a software firewall).
imtwo weeks into a one month test of pcgaurd and will report back with results. so far not good
