I believe the distribution of avast! has been moved from download.com elsewhere (cnet? don’t know) - that’s why the numbers went down.
(Don’t ask me for reasons, I don’t know them.)
yeah, i’ve had avast about 3 years or so, and never a problem
Good. ;D
Aren’t they joined at the hip ?
If you go to cnet.com and click the Downloads link, you get redirected to hXXp://download.cnet.com/windows/ if you try to connect to download.com, you get directed to hXXp://download.cnet.com/windows/ so essentially they are the same.

Haven’t I seen another topic like this (don’t know if it was from you) before ?
I believe I raised the point in that this is the top 20 downloads for ‘all’ software not just AV software and then 21st wasn’t bad anyway when considered against all software downloads. Now it is at 24th in all downloads.
I guess you mean this: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=81772.0
Has anyone noticed that avast is #3 in anti-virus on cnet.com http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?tag=mncol;1
Which I know better. If you read their review most of the test results they note are either 5.0 or 5.1 and “not” 6.0…hmmm makes you wonder. 
Yep, that’s toe one, I was getting that feeling of Deja-vu, been there seen that got the t-shirt.
