I never had any false positives with jaws and avast. Been using it for a long time. for me it is the best anit virus program I have ever tried and used. And having tried out avg in the past as well, avast uses far less sources than avg did here. I like the way it handles stuff and would recommend it over avg or any other right now. But this is one of those questions where you will get probably a hundred different views. HTH --- Happy chanukah everyone! Chanuka Sameach! From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Tighe Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:11 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Avast and Jaws again! Recently people on this list have discussed false posatives with Jaws and Avast. I suspect that Avast has made updates since then. Have these updates repaired the problem? If so do you all think that Avast is still a good antivirus program to use with Jaws? To put the question another way, does Avast have a smaller footprint and take up less resources than AVG? Thanks, for any ideas you may have. Peter
