Thanks Bob.
I’ll try to read it later (it’s too long ;D) and check if there is any new idea for my particular discussion thread.

Avast is known for its vast user base and their passionate support of the program
And make no mistake, Avast fans are truly fanatics
AV-Test.org gave Avast 5, the previous version of Avast, a passing rating in its most recent test, on a Windows Vista computer from the fourth quarter of 2010. Avast 5 barely surpassed the minimum score of 12, notching 13 out of 18. It reached 3.5 out of 6 in Protection, 4.0 out of 6 in Repair, and a 5.5 out of 6 in Usability. Many other suites scored the same or higher, including F-Secure, Kaspersky, Norton, and Panda. Among its free competitors during the fourth-quarter test, Avast scored better on the key metric of Protection than Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0, but worse on Protection than Avira 10.0 (4.0 out of 6) and AVG 10.0 (4.5 out of 6).People claim for protection: avast 3.5, Avira 4.0, AVG 4.5... Room for improvement.
Conclusion by a non-fanatic user like us ;D
Judging from these results, Avast is clearly one of the best security products around, although there's definitely room for it to improve.
