Hi everyone!
Quickly to the point: I want to drop my current av (nav), so I'm looking for a better alternative.
Sure Avast! seems great - vb & icsa awards, features rich, easy on the system, free, continuously developed (excellent!) and very good scores everywhere around.. but I was wondering: would it be enough? In other words: is it a good idea to use an av which has not the - or, more realistically, one of the - highest detection rates?
When it comes to scan my files, will I feel safe by using such an av, knowing that it covers say 91% of potential issues AND that there are avs covering say 98%?
That's a big question for me, and it will probably be the reason why I'll choose Kaspersky, in the end, paying a (high) price just for that 7% difference.
But I have not decided yet, and look forward to suggestion from your experience!! I really would like to switch to Avast!, for all the great improvements, the smart company Alwil is and.. the 'price'!
By the way, it seems that Avast! has not being tested by Westcoastlabs.org for its 'Checkmark' award, actually Alwil doesn't even get taken into consideration.. Does anyone know why is that? Can't believe it, I think Alwil deserves that test!
Bye all and thanks for any reply,
Tom
