Any thoughts here on how it compares to AVG antivirus software?
AVG has become shillware since the introduction of v8. Prior to that it would pop open a little window (behind active windows I believe if you had any open) update itself, and GO AWAY. Since v8 it blows this huge thing in front of whatever you’re working on, insists on dropping down an ad for the paid version, and when it’s done, takes like three or four clicks between the window and the systray to get it to go away. And as if that wasn’t enough, for the first couple months I couldn’t get v8 to update AT ALL! So I don’t know how the virus protection compares, but Avast is [a]vastly better for the blood pressure, I can tell you that much.
