I'd really like to know what's with the attacks on avast. I love it. It stops rogue emails before Thunderbird or live even detects them. It scans my inbound and outbound ports. It even scans files as they're being opened and closed. No AV I have ever used has ever done this. I've never had BSODs from Avast, and futhermore I blame BSODs on the user not the software. Lack of care for your drivers and updates is a sure fire way to do that. Sure developers release bad eggs, microsoft has proven that. But I stand behind avast as the best AV on the market. I recommend it to everyone.
Just as a personal experience, when we had our computers attacked, my dad's computer running Norton was completely immobilized. Mine running avast had stopped the attack on my computer. Mind you this was back in 2002 on xp.
I stand behind avast over any other AV with pride.
