I was so panicked XD I was like OMG If I don't act fast the virus will spread, what should I do !!!!

You would have liked avast 4.8 as that was really loud an alarm and very noticeable visual alert also, much more so than the subdued avast 5 alerts

Here is the way it sounded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycs92N_rph8

Yes, strangely I remember it as being louder

Even though I never had a real virus detection testing with the eicar test file even when you knew it was going to alert, for the first time it still made you jump.

Hard to believe they would have a pig squealing as a virus alert
Sure this isn't a wind-up.

The pig squealing was sure there in the old version of the product. I guess 2009 I don't remember which version it was. But it certainly was there.

The first time I heard the Avast alarm, I shook like a little sissy.
Then I laughed.

You might enjoy it more when it's used as part of a song
composed by Eddie (one of the forum Evangelists.)
it's available from MySharedFiles:
