It looks like people are losing their confidence in avast! or what ? I mean I've been offered another antivirus (Pro) for free as well and I simply refused to take that offer... I mean, why would I need to try anything else, when this baby does it's job and it does it pretty well. Not a single infection since the very first day I started to use it... since I started to use Home Edition and switched to Pro.

Sasha, you've read my mind. I think the same, exactly the same.
Can you imagine your computer running *** or $&%%# like some years ago?  ;D

Ditto, I can't imagine accepting a free offer of another AV pro or not, when avast is such a configurable, flexible anti-virus that has also looked after me with no virus infection since installation almost a year and a half ago.

If it isn't broken there is no need to fix it.

I generally only go looking when there is something wrong, like when I moved from AVG to avast and haven't looked back since.

I still have a valid license to another AV program but ditched NAV (oops) and after using the free version
of avast! for a few month, paid for the Pro version. It's almost time for me to renew my avast license and even though
I still have a year left on the other unmentioned NAV program (oops) I have no intentions of going back to it.
I'll either purchase another avast! Pro license or use the free version.
I found a good thing in avast! and I don't intend to give it up.  ;D :) ;D

Hello all again. I'm back!  ;D With avast! Only one day with other AV, and I missed avast! very much, so it was good reason to do a clean XP installation, half a day and my PC again safe and clean with avast "wall" in the front. And I can say: other AV's... better don't use them  ;D

You never know how good something is until you try a different product.  Then you say why the hell did I do that  ;D

I was visiting today my sister's family. They run F-Secure security suite but from their ISP vendor. Something had happened  ...  the update did not work well  ... antivirus, whole suite was gone.

I did not install  avast for them, but told  ....  no such worries while I have run it.

Bloated security suite propably got messed up with something. Ad-Aware and SpyBot it needed anyways to uninstall :(

It's a secret.  8) I can't tell I was trying to use Norton System Works 2005 with NAV 2005. Opps! Did I said what?  ;D

I generally only go looking when there is something wrong, like when I moved from AVG to avast and haven't looked back since.

Me, too.  Does this explain why we haven't switched to Pro version?

On the second thought, if I had followed the empiricist maxim strictly, I am not supposed to have any security apps at all now since I have never experienced security crisis.  :P  Touch wood

Hi folks,

There is a great little tool to clean all of NAV from your machine. I had people begging for it on their knees. Now the prodigal son has come home. YLAP,my dear friend,  I knew you come back on your tracks. Take a bit of reindeer sausage (nice and garlicky) and enjoy the  AVAST goodies & forum off course, unique in the world, my friend.,
