    Troquei o Avira AntiVir pelo avast! pois ele tem a ótima funcionalidade de fazer escaneamento no boot. Não é o melhor anti-vírus gratuito da atualidade, mas cumpre o que promete, apesar do seu escanemento ser um pouco lento e sua interface não ser muito atrativa.

    Avast has worked perfectly for me on a variety of Windows installations. Some may find the Avast "guy" annoying when he announces an update to the virus database but it's easy to turn "him" off. I kind of like "him," however. Even the free version of Avast requires the entry of a product key, which is emailed upon request, but to avoid this extra step I'm now installing Microsoft Security Essentials on my computers.

    I've been using AVAST for last few months, but after it updated its main program yesterday, it started to act madly. It reports all normal programs. So, I have to uninstall it.
