Hi all, I must be asleep because I can't find the antivirus comparative list that indicates Avast as one of the best AVs currently on the market. I wanted to show this to a computer tech guy that is arguing with me about Avast. He claims Avast is lousy and naturally I know that he must be crazy.

Any of the links to a study on AVs that mentions Avast 5 would be helpful...like I said, I must be asleep because I can't locate them.

Thanks!

With avast 5 only coming out recently there are not many comparitive studies that mention it yet.

I found this which is a sort of study of the 3 A's of the freeware av's.

Also included are browser opening times etc and some tests actually mention avast 5 but most are based on the previous version as is avg.
