[Avast! Anti Virus Home...]

I just recenly switched to Avast! anti-virus Home Edition. I am asking as anyone else used this antivirus? And if you have used AVG, are there some places where Avast! excels over AVG?

 

If you haven't used AVG, what do you think of Avast! Home Edition? I just wanted what you guys think (seeing as you guys always provide great information.

 

Thank you in advance for your responses.

 

Hi, yes, I have used AVG in the past (pro version), but switched to AVAST 4.7 home (free) edition a year ago, mainly because AVAST is much simpler to use. As for detection ability, neither of these

applications are found among the top-rated group. I have other software, like SSM and ZoneAlarm

Pro and TrojanHunter that, in my experience, afford much better protection from the nasties than either AVG or AVAST. If you don't already have Spyware Blaster loaded on your system, I would

urge you add it to your stable of security apps. You can add it to your system for a small donation.

 

All the best

[CCleaner 2.0.500]

I have installed CCleaner v.2.00.500, with both desktop and start menu links, but have encountered a little problem with it. When I double click on either the desktop or start menu links, neither

immediately opens the software every time. It may or may not work when I repeat the the steps, but usually opens the software on a third try.

 

This is not a big issue, but rather an annoyance. I have therefore reinstalled v.141.544 which

works just fine using the same procedures.

 

Is this a bug? Or?
