vista antivirus 2012
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:03:51 AM »
vista antivirus 2012. Avast ever hear of it??? I thought I was pretty safe until I got hit by that darn virus.  So whats the point of paying for avast on my 3 pc's? I have avast running and scanning at max and I still get a virus. I even tried both the quick and full scans and it came back clean every time. I'm not going to renew because avast is crap software that just lets virus get in and doesn't even see them.

dissatisfied to the max!!!

if you look in the update history here   http://www.avast.com/en-eu/virus-update-history

new version are released every day, they may look the same but are changed to avoid detection
