AVG took six points for usability, meaning it didn't erroneously flag valid programs or websites as malicious, and six more points for malware protection. It came close in performance, with 5.

Both products detected 89 percent of the samples and scored 8. When tested with my previous malware collection, Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus earned a perfect 10 points.
