It is good, however, never install the %?&$ skins! The skins make Avast unfunctionnal. There is also antivir which is free and very good: http://www.free-av.com/

jay 173,
I d/led Avast a couple of times but it slowed my comp down to half snail-speed. I use Antivir.

I also use Avast and it seems to work fine for me, though I think it could be more user friendly. But I'm always open to new suggestions:).

I've never tried Avast before. I prefer to use McAfee.;)

Hi wondering why,
I don't know I wasn't really paying attention. So I scaned my pc and there was like 140 some files it couldn't scan:confused:. I'll have to try to figure it out:).

Wow 140 files, I get about 10, let me know how you go...
thanks mate ;)
