Pros: And people recommended me to use AVG antivirus? I can't believe this program comes with so many features in such a small, easy to use interface. Not only does it scan for viruses now, but it also includes anti-rootkit protection, antispyware, and even less memory usage! I love this antivirus, it has so many easy to use features that can save you from viruses and allow you to safely browse the web. It is so non-intrusive and good for anyone who wants a working FREE antivirus! Worth more than the free price!

Cons: None so far. I'd love to see a firewall, but I can't complain, this program could take a while to make, and since it is free, I'm satisfied.

I didn't consider it a true firewall since it doesn't notify what it blocks and allows. Plus I couldn't judge the use of it since I didn't see much that changed when I had it and when I didn't have it. It seems the same to me.

Does Avast home edition include the "Virus Check" notification memo at the bottom of every email, like AVG?

If you go to their homepage you will find this: avast! antivirus v4.8 represents a multi-award winning solution to virus protection, with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in for added security.
