Compliments to Avast
« on: December 29, 2003, 08:38:24 PM »
I just purchased Avast Pro for use on my WinXP Pro server (file, web and email servers) at home. I am a fairly demanding user, and as my rash of postings will attest, I've experienced a number of irritating bugs, inconsistencies and blemishes to be worked out in and between the interfaces. :-\

However, the selection of scanners, the configurability, and the speed of the engine itself are superb. My compliments on these things to the Avast developers.

I have used Norton AV 2000, 2001 and 2002. A full backup of my home network with NAV installed on the systems used to take 15 hours, and a weekly incremental would take 3 hours. Since Avast adds a LOT less overhead to filesystem operations, my backup time has been reduced by over 50%. ;D

ah yes  the only other AV that is more configurable  than avast is F-secure but with 3 engines scanning speed is very slow. I use it as a back up scanner

Sowen, can you guess why we are here?  ;D
Yeah, I used NAV in the past too  :'(

We can add a lot of other superb features, begginning with the best forum help at the Web I have ever found  ;)
