I do not know if someone has already mentioned it before, but the rating given to Avast by AV-Comparatives in September of this year is excellent: 100% detection and 0 false positives, at the same level with Bitdefender and surpassing Kaspersky, Avira and others.
Here you can see the comparative chart:

Yes very good and if consistent, Excellent. 
Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first time Avast beats Kaspersky, Avira, Panda, McAfee, Symantec, all together!
Keep up the good work! 
Yet, MSE /Defender scored 100% also.
Yes WD has come to be very good/well respected
I’ve never had a worry using WD when not a 3rd. Party Anti Virus
