Better is in the eye of the beholder. I have used both and currently use
Avast for small reasons. They are both very good, but they may not get
along if used at the same time.

Can't say anything about avast as I've never used it. Personally I use AVG 7 Pro which has proved extremely effective and the updates are, in the main, at least daily. I also have Kaspersky (also very effective) which doesn't run at the same time but which I keep for occasional scans - a kind of second opinion. The only reason I don't use Kaspersky in the background is that it's much more resource heavy than AVG 7. Do NOT have both running in the background at the same time. Same goes for software firewalls

For firewall my preference is for Zone Alarm Pro

With internet security being what it is I'd recommend putting your hand in your pocket for the Pro versions as they're much more fully featured

More fully featured, perhaps, but not more secure. The free AVG has the
same anti-virus protection as the pro. Not everyone needs those extra
features.
