Hi
I`m new here.

I just want to know how many viruses detects avast!.
I saw that there is only about 24 thousands. It`s very few

Maybe I`m wrong

Please answer because I like avast! very much

Happy New Year for all

According to a previous post I saw, the database list classifies some viruses under the same name so it does actually detect alot more.
