Both are free. Both are easy to install and uninstall.
Add Avira and Microsoft Security Essentials to your list.
Download them all then try each one in turn and see which you prefer.
FWIW I use Avast but I'm not going to claim that is the best.0 -
will avast or avg be quicker/slower than kaspersky whilst using internet.0
