OT (sorry) my older brother was one of the more original computer nerds in the seventies. “State-of-the-art” was a behemoth of a thing called an IBM360. It was programed using punch cards; that was the only user interface. Occupied two large offices, stored everything on original floppies (like old vinyl records, but about twice the size) and had about the same computing power as a cellphone.
I worked on an IBM System/360 Model 65 that had 256K memory that was made from small ferrite doughnut shaped things that represented one bit and each byte (character) was 8 bits + parity bit so that was a lot of doughnuts:

I found it from av-comparatives test result 
;D About 6 months I simply did a search for “free anti-virus real time protection”.
I got tired of running an anti-virus that would let in whatever was out there.
Thank you for the use of this forum and for AVAST.

I saw Avast listed as one of the recommended free antivirus programs in one of the now closed MSN Groups (circa 2003). The group preferred AVG which is what I installed first, but a slow system and the clunky, difficult to understand UI sent me to the alternative which was Avast. I’ve had Avast installed on at least one system since.
I started to look for an alternative, after my Kaspersky missed the KLEZ worm back in 2004
First Norton then McAfee… Yes, I confess my dark past ;D
Then AVG…
Poor configurability, poor update scheme made me change to avast.
I had a problem with DOS programs and Kubecj and Vlk solved my problem at that time.
So am I.
