Hey! guys!

One of my friends used avast! lately and got infected...they say it sucks..

Yes...but i figured out...their avast! isnt up to date :(  how they expect avast! to be outdated and then protect their pcs????

Hi True Indian,

Sorry for chipping in...

I chose Avast after doing some research and statistics is what it's all about!

Avast is the best all round free protection you can have! Trust me!

Some links to tests:

Av-Test - http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/tests/test-reports/test-reports/

AV Comparatives - http://www.av-comparatives.org/en/comparativesreviews/summary-reports

People say, "well other products have better detection rates, Example Avira..." Well the free Avira is a file scanner only! It does not protect you from browsing or Scripts! think about that!

Just my 2 cents!
