I've been using Avast for a couple of years now on my notebook pc. AVG and
Avast were pretty comparable in every review I've read, but Avast was more
automated. I considered trying each, but Avast has been so stress free I've
just stayed with it. I do have Norton on my desktop - mostly because my
son uses it for his online classes (and browsing!), and I wanted the heavier
duty virus protection on that one. Avast is free for home users, never slows
my PC down, updates virus files daily whenever I log onto the internet, and
prompts me when there is a new version - then installs it in the background.
It does alert me when HP tries to remotely check my PC to see if I need
updates, and won't let AOL load update in the background, but I don't
really mind that <G>.

I went to the avast website and could no notice that they are charging. In
fact, it says STILL

I used to use Mcaffee on Windows 95. But it constantly crashed my 98
machine
Norton was good until 3 years ago, and it started to crash things.
Avast allows me to set up all my different email programs, and also does
anti virus on all the
Instant messenger programs that the kids use
It protects against trojans as well as viruses, does a quick daily update.
I rarely do my entire
machine - I just let it run at night when I am sleeping because it does a
really deep, long scan.
I hated the long weekly downloads on Norton.
