I wanted to get an opinion by users on this forum just to see what experiences people on this forum has had with other programs beside avast!. Besides why else would you be here unless you have had other antivirus programs and found out that they are terrible 
or that this was the best of the best in at least some aspects. Sorry for not posting sooner, just really busy with my three summer college classes, drains a lot of my free time.
I have tried many other AV programs but my search ended over two years ago when I tried avast, the most configurable and flexible AV I have used, not to mention no infections.
There are a number of functions that aren’t available with other AV’s, like P2P Shield, IM Shield, Web Shield, boot-time scan (depends on compatible OS), but you would have to do a direct comparison and ensure your personal needs/requirements are met.
Most people on the forums came from other AVs and have also settled for avast so any direct comparison is likely to be a little one sided.
Sorry to raise suspicion with my first post but I did not reply soon because of a busy schedule for my college summer term. But I join and posted soon after joining because I was looking at the other comodo products and wondered how was the antivirus. I lik e the options and shields that Avast gives but the detection rate that I have look at from various sources kind of made me worry but i have not ad any problems yet so I will stick with what works. Thanks for the helpful and quick responses. Surfing safe on the internet. 8)

My opinion exactly it works for me and has done so for many years with no sniff of an infection
