Avast has got me out of quite a few holes that many other anti-virus checkers haven't been able to, i spend my time testing various checkers this is what i base my opinions on, and user feedback as well. As i said i don't wish to become involved in a debate, each to his own if you're happy with what you use then good for you. Mo.
