Avast is great. Just when you get it your gonna want to go Settings>Sound>Settings scroll down to Automatic VPS update. Apply blahdy blahdy blah. It gets hella annoying.

Avast has always worked well for me :)

Well today was a wonderful day... Until an hour ago or so...

Bit defender was doing it's job and I wasn't going to instal avast until the last minute because I didn't want chocolateloads of stuff running since all I'm using is a laptop...

Well bitdefender's icon stays red when it's activated and when it either expires or what-not it turns grey...

Now all of a sudden I got two different programs saying chocolates infected and poo poo while the bit defender icon shines red in the task bar and I'm like double you tee eff!?!

Long story short... I got infected... and the computer bluescreens me randomly...

Well atleast my mom isn't as mad as she was along time ago when my computer wouldn't work (I could of fixed the problem then but I was at my dads house)

now I'm a sad panda...

come on start doing it the dirty way go and download Norton internet security 2010 with the 366 day crack it's the best anti virus and if you don't want to do it the dirty way it's worth buying it!

Hell no.  Norton has a reputation of being a resource hog.


As for what antivirus, seriously, anything is fine, as long as you have one.

You don't even really need to have one if you're careful with what you download.  For a period of like 1yr or something in the past, I didn't even have an anti virus, yet I never got a virus either.

actually i think it matter l had nod32 for a while and it was the latest version and l updated it everyday but my computer was full of viruses and all it did was just nothing! and it also messed up my Hamachi and Gameranger network setting and i couldn't connect kaspersky was good too but that didn't catch all the viruses too but i don't know about avg only my dad had it on his old computer but your right about two things first if your careful with your internet you won't have much of a problem and on the second hand you have to have a good internet connection and update your anti virus every day but still i think norton works better even if you don't update but i don't know this is my experience maybe other anti viruses are better!

...killled them...

I didn't do it yesterday... (lazy or something dunno)

this morning i woke up turned on my computer decided to get rid of the one with a name...
got rid of it...
turned the computer off to let it cool down...
turned it on...

and it seems I got rid of the other one as well...
probably because I couldn't find a certain thing and just randomly picked the other one without realising it...

so now I'm cured :/

and I just registered avast. woot.
