gigabyte Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 well its free and works quite good for me, if u at least have a bit knownlage about pc u can keep ur pc clean. Thats exactly why it sucks because its free, i had it on my 7 and after removing it and installing Nod32, Nod32 picked up 3 Trojans that avast didn't even detect . Doesn't matter how much you know about pc's, Virus's are always going to get in no matter what specially if you have a fail AV like avast.

Lol I guess it worked okay for me too. Tell me to use norton and I go *pisss* It was much better than AVG. I use to run AVG before and I dunno why but it had some problems with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. For a whole month I was getting like 40 crashes and I couldn't figure out what the hell it was (driver, memtest, HD test, prime95 stability test, disk error check and repair, loose cables...etc). I uninstalled AVG and I haven't had a single crash for over a month now. So ya fack AVG But to be honest, not running any antivirus and using a very good firewall would be your best option .

AVG is a fail antivirus. It does not detect the trojans which avast could detect. So I choose Avast 5 instead. BTW there is no perfect antivirus which would detect all malware. Any suggestions for firewall, Onion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
