although it still needs some final polish to get to the 100%... will be interesting to watch the results from more sources and across a longer period of time.

One problem I see with this newest protection scheme is how to allow utilities that
by their nature can't or don't meet the criteria required but aren't malware.
There will have to be a way to use these tools without having to remove Avast. :)

avast! also scored really well in latest Dennis Labs test, beating even BitDefender and Trend Micro. Not there yet, but it seems to be finally moving up there again...
