PRELUDE:First of all sorry if this is not a issue post or something, but I wanna say my opinions on avast!.
Avast! is probably the best AV I used ever. When I didn't know about avast! I used AVG, which is kindof good but not as good as Avast!. When my friend told me about this AV I was like "Nah this couldn't be good can't it" and when I tested it... The whole computer life changed. I was getting so many "outdated", "your PC is at risk" and such popups and it all was changed when I tested Avast!. This is such a
(cool) program!
Basic Opinions:1. Avast! is light, fast and reilable. Using only 7K-9K memory, I didn't even notice it's running in the background.
2. Avast! detects the whole majority of viruses/rootkits/trojans etc. and a lot of PUPs on my system, while AVG only some (according to a expert review and my own opinion
)
3. Avast! has a Software Updater which is really useful for keeping my software updated.
4. Also, avast! company has the best free anti-virus ever. It is free but... It's just like IS for me. The only Important thing is that it detects A LOT of viruses. And avast! has that. And a lot of other cool stuff too.
5. Avast! has become my all time greatest AV. It has almost 4.5+ stars on any review, it is in the most top charts of free AV software. And you won't believe this, but I actually changed my logon screen to a avast! wallpaper, my Wallpaper (
) was changed to a avast image and also at the boot screen avast! says "Your computer is protected!" and it really is.
6. The AVAST! Forums are really active and helping. They are probably the best support. This AV has a great support, by using the Live Chat on their site, the phone numbers and the forums, who are great and helping.
FINAL WORDS:Avast! is definitely the greatest AV of all time. There are many others great AV's but this is just my personal favourite. I've been using this AV for over 4 years now and I can say it is the best. I NEVER, EVER got infected. Before using avast, I got the ZeroAccess rootkit and I had to reinstall Windows (bear in mind that I was using AVG back then). But with Avast! I got it again and it blocked it. Oh so happy I was when I saw that "Rootkit blocked" message... I also use ZoneAlarm Free Firewall combined with Avast!, the top firewall/AV solution. I use MBAM for on-demand scan, and CCleaner and other software for cleaning up daily. I must say my PC was never as good as it is today.
So yeah.. 6 stars from me!
This software is the best!
NOTES:1. So I do not wanna threaten or make fun of AVG. They are a great company, all right, I just do not like their AV that much. Everyone has their opinions, eh?
2. Again, sorry if this is not a problem topic. I just wanna compliment my favourite AV company all right? Please not so many hate comments...
