Stop Viruses for Free!

Stop Viruses for Free!

I have three subjects today, and each of them is a winner in its way. The interesting fact about them is that all three start with the first letter of the alphabet, their names being Avira PersonalEdition Classic, AVG Free Edition and Avast! Home Edition.

Thanks Bob for this link... it is really nice to see that some respectable web site such as Softpedia has something nice to say about these three wonderful AV applications. What was a real surprise, is the fact that someone finally has to say something nice about avast! ability to use skins. They used one of my skins SZC-KDE for this review. Nice to see that people appreciate "skinability"...

...
...Perhaps the greatest difference between Avast! and most antiviruses around is its interface. While most antiviruses look good or very good, in the best cases, this one is a true eye candy. Avast! Home Edition has a skinnable interface, but you'll probably wonder as much as I did what's the catch with the "Enhanced User Interface"...and unfortunately there's only one way to find out the answer: buy the commercial version. Anyway, what we have here is good enough to get us started, so let's dig in deeper, using the szc-kde interface...

Nice to see you get a little recognition to Sasha,

Well you're right... although not directly, but it's really nice to see that they were actually testing it using one of my skins.

It's also nice to see that it was a fair review of all 3 of those av programs. And yes, most reviews say avast's interface is plain but only this one mentions the skinable interface that can be customized to the users satisfaction.
