AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
Forget all the other Anti-Virus paid programs!
It is the best antivirus freeware
Norton -Paid- Uses too much memory and has update flaws within the program. Scans are slow and the look is old and nothing new.
AVG - update problems and slow updating. No skin support and the look is crap!- Heavy Definition Update
AVAST 
--> Less Memory Usage
--> Great Features
Go with Avast Home Edition! http://avast.com/eng/down_home.html
Skins - http://avast.com/eng/skins.html
Forums - http://forum.avast.com/index.php
Note: Remove any Anti-Virus program you have on your computer before installing avast!

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
Undoubtedly the best free antivirus. Does way better than all other freeware
and commercial offerings, and is easy on system resources.

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
Avast rocks guys.And the boot time scanning is just too cool and highly effective.Updates are smaller in size and almost regular.

While I have used Avast for quite some and its great, but I have never heard of slow updates on AVG, they provide daily updates and the servers are fast too

when i was using AVG, the update(virus definition) file size were not more than ~100KB. (more incase i didnt update it for days).
why do you care about AV Skin  .
if you regularly open the AV window, then only you need 'em.
i rarely open the KAV window.  , it stays in the taskbar.

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
We'll friends features are always better
Regarding skins I must say that Vista has very few addtional features but its the looks which make it cool
Regarding updates i must say avast has smallest updates (try urself)
and last but not the least it is resource friendly (only norton users can realize that  )
I will say that u must try it once ( & I bet just once and u'll s\tart loving it)

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
best thing about avast is that it scans every second without u even running it
and everytime a new file is installed or downloaded it scans it immediately i was saved 10 times by this when i downloaded some stuff thats why i purchased proffesional its worth it

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
Basically Avast freeware beats even most of the Paid Anti-virus out there.
Get Avast and live in peace in the Windows World.

Re: AVAST :The Best Antivirus Freeware
i disagree avast though good uses more system resources than kaspersky and quick heal.the main prob. i have with avast is that it'll never detect viruses on it's own but catch it when you visit that directory and this sucks when you play a scratched disc it scans everything and then explorer hangs.almost the same prob with kaspersky but a bit less and way more efficient.for users having 256mb or less ram like me use quick heal provides decent protection,low cpu and disc usage and i have a trick which can enable u to use it without buying it.not a cack or keygen just a flaw
