Question is:Is it better to have an integrated antispyware-antirootkit-AV integrated or to have them alone? In terms of “HIGHER” EFFICIENCY I mean. You may say as long as it does the job but would a standalone be better in detecting malware? ???

10

Thanks and keep up the great work with this wonderful program. ;D

Hi Vlk and AVAST TEAM.

I would also like to say once again you have excelled.
Thanks once again for an easy update and a great product.

Cheers peter

Many Thanks, Running fine on Vista sp-1

Ppl say layered defense is better. I call that BS. It’s the tech and the way how you protect stuff.
I don’t know how good anti-spyware is in avast! but anti-rootkit tech is top of the line.

14

Working perfectly over here, no more long boots …

15

Many Thanks to the ALWIL Software team for delivering such an outstanding product. 4.8 Working like a charm. Cheers ;D

Thanks again

Thank you for this!

Been running on a fudged installation of 4.7 (only way it’d work); just updated and it now seems to be back to normal (the Add/Remove had only Remove and now it has all the entries).

Great relief!

18

Congratulation to AVAST team and thank you.

19

Cool!
Thanks Vlk!

Many thanks to Alwil Team! :wink:

Thanks Alwil team. Working smoothly into Vista Business 32bits.

??? If the tech is not enough to protect you, why not having a 2nd layer?
