I Remember switching to both when they first came out.
They were fast, lightweight, effective.
Then they started to bloat.
And bloated again.

I’ve seen cases where Avast will slow a low-spec Win 8 machine to a 5 minute boot (from a 1.5) (not boot scans etc. – just really shoddy hogging on load).
The problem is – the vast majority of them go this way :(
