I used to use Avg but it had trouble detecting viruses, and when it did it did a terrible job of cleaning it out. I am very impressed with this.
best antivirus ever
My favorite free antivirus program. I've tried plenty of free and paid antivirus programs, but avast! is the best. Norton is a system hog, AVG Free doesn't have on-access detection. avast! is always the first thing I stick on a new computer.
auto-update and free . what else do you need?!
Bitdefender is better.. trust me.. avast was not able to delete a certain virus in my PC
amazing anti virus !!!! pc work perfect with them !!! but if you in danger zone :] more good to use Norton ...
and dude .. Kaspersky .. the most sux anti virus in world .... all key gens / cracks .. that i'm use 2~3 years ... he delete it
is it better than Kaspersky ??
just try it :P
it is a great product
Also a long time user of Avast!. Avast! is way better than the bloated mcafee and norton. It has "a vast" number of features and uses hardly any system resources. And the best thing is that its completely FREE!
Long-time user of Avast! here, and extremely satisfied with its features and performance. Frequent updates are a godsend.
one of the three best free antivirus i know.
love the skins..
It rocks!
One of the best free virus scanners i have used.
Oops, I should of given it a thumbs up. I love the fact that it's free for non-commercial use too.
