Currently reading the July '08 issue of
PC Magazine - on pg. 48, Neil Rubenking (who I've respected for years now!) just reviewed
avast! AV 4.8 Home Edition and awarded the program a 4/5 rating - the full article can be read online
HERE, if interested.
I'm running avast! on my VISTA Dell laptop w/ Windows Defender - Rubenking states that this newest version of avast! has sypware/rootkit protection, also - then recommends in one of his posts in the
PC Mag Forums that Windows Defender does NOT need to be running actively w/ the current version of avast! - hmmm, not sure - but for those who have more experience w/ this combo, any opinions? So far, I've not had any problems -
