Have you tried Avast antivirus?

Answer by  Chiyamaka (846)

I have heard about it and heard it is lousy. A good freeware antivirus out there is AVG, it works really well. If you're willing to pay more money, there's always Norton.

Yes, I use Avast. It automatically updates its virus definitions daily, which is very important to handle new threats. It is one of the top three free antivirus programs available.

Yes!I have tried using Avast antivirus. In fact, this is the very first AV program that I tried. I do like it because it is very simple to use and its prompt when it has detected a virus makes your PC or laptop kind of a very high end machine.

Yes, I have tried it. I did not like it as much as Microsoft Security Essentials. Avast had too many false positives in my experience. It was annoying because it pushed you to buy the paid version. Another good AV product to try is AVG Free.

as with any antivirus solution, you need to buy the version , to get the full benefits. so, yeah avast is just as good as the rest, because if a new virus was released this minute, NOI antivirus can stop it until they release the updated virus definitions.
