is avast 8 free antivirus protection and detection is rate is high than any other antivirus  8)
A silly question to ask on the Avast forum.
If we didn't think that avast! is better than another product, we wouldn't be using it. :)
Well it isn't so silly actually, the fair answer to that will be: both are strong. You could use avast because is lighter than other one. As for detection: 100% doesn't exist. The 3rd line of defense is the user(antivirus, firewall, user :) ).

There is no antivirus that has 100% detection or top notch AV product because of 100000 + viruses everyday...Every AV is just statistically effective..but there are even crappy Antiviruses out there that claim to detect everything like netprotecter and quickheal but in reality they are the worst AV's  ::)

I have been using and recommending avast to my clients for like 2 years and none have been unintentionally infected yet.  ;)

Your best antivirus is your brian that is self caution on the internet and when exchanging USB sticks.. and by the way some of the improvements that are coming along in some months is surely going to be effective.

Anyway for your curiosity:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=127472.msg953929#msg953929

Still have a doubt  ;D

But remember you can still get infected with viruses if you are going to mess with your computer and dont use "self caution" its always handy to have layered security. eg: Avast free + COMODO firewall + Malwarebytes free.  ;D

Detection rates change everyday..what's important how well avast works and protects you.  :)
If it works for you,its best for you.

Avast is almost near to have 200 million users around the world,cant go wrong with that big user base  :D

Any further help will be provided,if you create a new topic here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0

Yet again you are diving in and asking unrelated questions (three) in this topic (considered hijacking), which was a notification about the program update.

So as previously stated:

This really should be in its own topic, it will just be lost in this unrelated topic. You can also try the forum search as this is a frequently asked question.

Then we can attempt to help.

When one is ready. Certainly before Windows 8.1 is officially released.
Beta is currently available.
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93544.msg958599#msg958599
Beta's should only be used by those that are willing to accept the dangers that go along with trying a beta version of any program.

There is no time schedule so you'll just have to monitor the forum for when it might be released.

Note that windows 8.1 is essentially beta also, so even is avast release a version that is compatible with this release it doesn't mean that something wont be broken on the next windows 8.1 update.
