I don't know why someone said to stop using Avast...

For a free product it is awesome.... From all my years of using computers, the last 2 years of having Avast has been my most virus/issue free time ever..

I'm sure it's saved me from tonne's of crap that I would have got from dodgy websites...

And the thing I love about it, and reason I always made the decision to not bother with anti-virus in the part, is they are always so intrusive... They are a pain in the ass and get in the way all the time... But Avast is practically like you are not even running anything, until the rare time when you ACTUALLY need it... Most other programs just like the remind you all the time that they are there and running, whether they are stopping anything or not...
