some sites say avast is good, avg is bad, other sites say avast is bad, avg is good, I don't care about, is 2 years I use avast on 2 pc and never have problems, in case of trojan, malwere or virus I always was notified by avast, and I will never change antivirus. Remember, no antivirus can give you 100% safety on the net, use the one you like, do not let other people decide for you. Did you know what happened two weeks ago with AVG free? the last update found two virus in two windows system files, they were false positive, all the people put FP in quarantine had pc crash, and on the avg site they just said we are sorry was a mistake.

When we say that not a software is perfect and that we need to be careful...  ::)

In part 1 it seems to me the first one never got downloaded, it would have been nice if he had avast! open with the Web Shield in more details. Granted one did get in but avast! stopped it from sending the emails out and with help from people on this forum pretty sure it could be cleaned up & if he was running 32bit he could have done a boot scan.

First time poster! We all know Mrizos has never been a big fan of Avast but I think it did pretty well in the test, and like you said it prevented the emails from being sent out.

I used to like his reviews but recently in my opinion they are of less quality now and very biast. it's all got a tad stail for me.

For all we know Matt could have tested a number of new viruses/malware beforehand with the software and found ones which had got past and decided to show the software in a slightly worse light, doing the same with Nod 32 but only showing the good ones. His website has a nice big Nod 32 anti virus banner on it, need I say anymore.

Personally I love Avast, I used Avira free edition before switching to Avast and let me tell you something, when I installed Avast and ran a full scan it found a virus that Avira never even detected on my computer, I feel much safer with Avast running now and I love the boot scan option.

Keep up the good work all.

Hello all,

Sorry If it seems that I am taking Mrizo's side I am not, I am a huge fan of avast! and always will be I just wished to put up this link to see what people think, I have personally been in Touch with Matt and he's a pretty  good guy but yes sometimes he does seem a bit more biased towards one AV product over another but as I have said I have been a huge fan of avast! since discovering it over a year ago I believe the work the people at Alwil do is top notch  :)
