The interface can be termed as outdated and usual. Normally users search for something new in the updated version of an application. However AVG fails to complete these demands. Comparatively AVAST provides a very friendly user interface that is easy to use. Secondly, it is interactive and designed with a bright color combination. The scanning duration taken by AVAST is lesser than the AVG antivirus application. It is quite irritating to wait for hours while the antivirus application is being hanged and no other application can be used.

AVG Antivirus 9.06

AVG antivirus application requires lesser memory for installation as compared to AVAST home edition. In this case, the installation of AVG does not slow down the system speed or decline the processor performance in any manner.
