I love Avast because it is nice and superb!

Pros: Avast! Home Edition will keep your PC free from viruses. It will not bother you all the time. Just install it and forget it. It just works! Believe me, I have used this program for two years and I have never had any trouble. It is extremely stable. I have downloaded and checked my PC with other security software and checks such as Symantec, BitDefender etc but they never found anything, this because of the fact that Avast had already done the job!

Be aware! BitDefender 9 was supposed to have a better detection capability than Avast but what it did was to attack other programs which were none viruses. I have paid for BitDefender 9 but I use Avast instead, this because I want the best protection from viruses, but I do not want protection from using the programs which I want to use!

Avast! Home Edition is not a dull program like other antivirus software. It has a lot of skins to choose from.

Do not use Avast with ZoneAlarm firewall. It will crash your PC. Why this is so I do not know. Can it be that Zone Labs wants to sell their antivirus software?

Avast is quite light on memory.

Avast! Home Edition is free!

Fantastic! all ports are "blocked" (stealth mode)! Thank You Goldengreeke!

Pros: I tested all the ports, online, against Sygate Security Scan and Symantec Security Check and it passed all the scans! All ports were blocked (stealth mode)! That is fantastic! The interface is very nice and it is free! Bjorn Lundahl, Gothenburg, Sweden

Spyware Doctor is no good any more! Try Spyware Terminator!

Pros: Very good detection capability!

Cons: I have a laptop Acer 3103 and Spyware Doctor takes so much time to scan my PC so I uninstalled it. I was silly to try the antivirus plug in and it only made the matter worse. I do not think a spyware scan should take that long. The same goes with Webroot Spy Sweeper; it also takes much too long. Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper have both very good detection capabilities but I consider them useless only because their scans, as mentioned, take much too long.

Because of the reason that I use Firefox I do not today receive any spyware. If I did I would try Spyware Terminator. Today Crawler Company seems to be a very good company which you can trust. I use their email program which is very good so try Spyware Terminator as it is also free. That is probably the best value you can get!
