we've recently been implementing AVG not just due to its inexpense. AVG
operates in a different manner than most other AV products in that is has

definition in the viral database. Other packages are capable of this, often
referred to as heuristic checking, in our experience the AVG heuristics seem
more capable and less resource intensive than other products.
