Avast Triumphs

[o2xygen]

I have until now, made 4 friends of mine who had virus problems to switch to avast.
The first was using Norton... Avast found on his computer 239 viruses in differre t places

The second pc had an expired Norton Membership and suggested avast. About 30 viruses found

The third is a laptop that had SAV...  Just finished a boot time scan. 10 on memory test and 110 on boot time

I don't know about the fourth. But It run nod32.


Post here your results so far

I haven't had virus problems on this pc at all. My old pc had various av programs, but this one more than half year works with avast only.

Hi Ylap,

I thought your country would win the Eurovision song contest. maybe next time. (Holland and Poland lost) But I reckon you have DSL now. If so you could  once in a while run a free online scan from for instance BitDefender (good Romanian program, not like AVAST but not bad at all). Or download stinger.exe (it is gratis, free, po polsku "za darmo"), a free  scanprogram with the latest anti-virus and anti-trojan definitions (30-40)  from MacAfee. Of course these programs through ActiveX, do not operate in firefox, but MacAfee's stinger.exe allways will function, because it is an stand-alone application. Furthermore one cannot rely soleley on online-scans, because they do not do a boot-up scan as it should (bios) .

Kindest regards,

polonus

Hi Niko,

This is the best one-liner I heard about AVAST. In french it must sound even better. Merci bien, c'est vrai.

All the best from,

I'm using Bit Defender Online Scan. It's already on my computer, so I run it once a month maybe. I want to add - I'm still on dial up.  :'( Thanks for good opiniom about eurovision. As I have seen all Lithuanian performers I can say that it was really the best we ever shown on eurovision. But...

Online scans are useful but most of them won't remove the virus that it detected.  For me I just use Anti Vir 6 as my secondary scanner (Not using the active guard of course).  It's alot quciker cause I don't have to install the Active X and do all this setting configuration.  BitDefender Online I believe is very very very useful along with House Call, but I just like to scan my PC Offline.
