    In my experience Vipre is horrible - I've had to disinfect a ton of machines for a local company who were using Vipre because their "IT Guy" told them they should.


    AVG (the paid version) is quite good and very user-friendly, but...


    1. I think Bitdefender is more accurate and stronger protection, more reliable overall (that's why I recently switched)


    2. In my experience, you should NOT try to run two different security suites at the same time, as they can actually "fight" each other and cause certain vulnerabilities


    I think if you really love AVG then it's fine to stick with, but in my opinion Bitdefender is the superior product in regard to a higher accuracy rate and lower false-positive detections, as well as faster real-time surfing protection.


    My opinions on security suites change with the times, as companies sometimes make great updates and sometimes horrible ones (there was a time when McAfee was good believe it not, and now look at the large number of people who run it and are often infected!)


    Currently, after doing my research and also testing it out, I'd Bitdefender ranks in the top 5 PC security products in the world, so yeah I'd recommend you switch. Just remember to remove AVG first.

    Hi ttomm46,


    Thank you for posting back. :)


    There shouldn't be any compatibility issues between the Bitdefender product you are currently using and Tune-up software from the other company.


    Have a great weekend!

    I think AVG Tune up is Tuneup Utilities 2013. I use Tuneup Utilities 2013 and Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 without problems.


    Edited to add: Norton blows. My isp offers Norton for free, but I got infected with Norton so I switched to Antivir then I got Bitdefender in a deal for 0.13 and am happy with it.
