I use Avast as well. My theory is hackers will go after the most widely used antivirus (Norton/AVG) because the hacker will get to the most computers doing this. So he or she spends their time looking for the weak spot in Norton but antivirus like Avast is ignored because the users are much fewer. Just a theory of mine.
