Believe what you want. Everybody knows that a good freeware anti-virus
program is definitely more important than a good freeware anti-spyware program.
The new AVG Free 8.0 contains both. Logic dictates that the anti-virus program
must take precedent over the incompatible S&D and SpywareBlaster, and the fact
that AVG Free 8.0 now includes their anti-spyware component settles the
argument, at least for me it does. And besides, my computer is running much
faster and smoother than it did with S&D, "tea timer" and all that bogging it
down. I'll never go back to it.
