I used Avast for about a month last year and after one of their updates my
computer crashed.  I now use Microsoft Security Essentials and all is very
well here.  Great program MS has produced.

My avast went crazy last night and detected trojan horses in all my
computers.  Two computers even had their memory infected.  It's not a JAWS
issue.  Mine attached themselves to spybot and skype.

I just went to open Outlook and Avast has come with an alert. Supposedly a
Trojan called Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj] was found at C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\Shared\OOMHelper\1.0\OOMHelper.dll. This is clearly a JFW file
and I wondered if Avast was making an error due to inaccurate
classification. Has anyone else had this alert?
