Hi, the professional edition allows you to perform scheduled scans. It also 
provides protection against worms that can be triggered by scripts, something 
called script blocker does this. There are also other advanced features, all 
controlled by the advanced user interface, which I personally find inaccessible 
compared to the simple user interface. The advanced user interface is only 
available in the professional edition. In my opinion, stick to the home edition 
unless you work in some corporate environment where more protection is required 
or you want scans to happen on a scheduled basis. Hope this helps.

I had NOD32 antivirus software on my computer but it was a bear to use. I 
installed the home edition of Avast antivirus software. I am very pleased with 
it's interface and accessibility. I have the free home edition and I am 
wondering is there any reason for me to upgrade and purchase the vrofessional 
version in your opinion?
