This is my first post, so I just wanted to say hello to everyone here.
More importantly, I want to say I absolutely like the Avast home antivirus program.
To make a long story short, about a month ago I had to change my antivirus software because it did not satisfy me anymore. So I went along and tried not less than twelve different trial versions.
On the 12 different antivirus sotware I tried, I only found two that could satisfy me. Most of them either used waaaaay too much resources, either were not stable at all. Some of them also slowed down my modem connection to the Internet to almost total freeze. :-*
So I ended up choosing Avast because of :
1 - Its stability : no PC crash since one month caused by the antivirus.
2 - It doesn’t prevent any program to run. Some of the antivirus software I tried were totally allergic to certain programs running, like several DOS-mode games.
3 - Its interface : enough options to choose from, and the skin capability, probably unique amongst antivirus programs.
4 - It doesn’t use too much resources or take complete control of your PC. Most of the other antivirus use way too much resources and take too much control. Not Avast.
That’s about it.
By the way, believe it or not, I don’t work for ALWIL. ;D
I also wrote a very positive review of it on Download.com.
So take care everyone. I hope you enjoy your antivirus program as much as I do.
Thanks, and welcome to the avast forum. Be sure to come back (and don’t forget to place your pin on the Member Map (use the bottom at the top of the page). We need more Canadians :P)
You too have found what many of us like about avast, not to mention the support experienced in these forums (totally different from many other AVs), quick response being the norm rather than the exception…
:)I came to know about from a computer magazine and the free CD that came along with it. I was using NAV and it was giving problems. After I switched to the free home version, I liked everything about it so much that I opted for the pro version.
I would request our fellow forum members to subscribe to the pro version which is not that expensive, so that the software becomes better and better and we contribute a small part toward it.
By the way, I am also only an user of AVAST like all forum members. 8) 8) 8)
U Really need to Publish ur AD for the Avast anti-virus…coz most of my friends abt 99% don’t know abt ur product…i need to explain each and every time abt ur product…U Guys need to Prublish AD’s world wild… Think seroiusly…GUYS…!!!
The most effective form of advertising (and cost effective) is word of mouth, tell your friends, have them tell their friends. Ensure that you have the avast! clean message in your outgoing emails, that is a form of advert.
