I am back
« on: September 30, 2005, 01:13:52 AM »
;D O.k., it is no secret about my long on going battle with another's "free" virus protection program. I at last have given up on them. I went back to AVG, but all said try AVAST. So here I am again. I will say that I like AVG and find it very easy to install and use, but all say you have better detection. I found AVAST a slight bit more cumbersum to install and figure out the options however, but I admit that is just personal preference. Time will tell, but for now I will give you a try again.

Thanks

I'm glad to know.

For me, avast! is configurable and can fit the user needs. AVG doesn't.

As an ex AVG user, I haven't looked back since installing avast! much more flexible, configurable and offers additional providers (modules) not available in AVG.

 :) For a long time I had an old machine with very limited memory capacity and was not able to utilize AVAST, now I have a new machine with much more memory and a bigger hard drive. My point is this, in your next version release could you perhaps address this issue? I found that individuals with older machines and limited memory capacity are not able to take advantage of what appears to be a very good virus protection program. Could you also give some instructions on how to choose and set up the various options upon installing AVAST? From the looks of things thus far, I may at long last have found the virus protection program that I will stick with. I think it is also no secret as to what I look for in the company that is behind the product, and "free" is no excuse to not care about that part of the companies overall operations.

Thanks

Wildman, a lot of these configurations are available into help files and the forums.
I've installed avast in an old Windows 95 laptop and it worked like a charm. You need to learn how to configure: read help files and read the forum  8)
