Avast 4.8 >http://www.avast.com/eng/what-is-new-in-avast-4-8.html

I just got rid of a Spript Worm,took me two weeks repairing a sys.recovery to get formatted again. Really looking forward to new FOTRS. Installed AVAST 4.8

Recomended: I got rid of Adaware-Spybot-& -McAfee/Norton. Copy,& paste link-Let me know what you-all think Please ! Donut

Anti-spyware built-in

Certified by West Coast Labs Checkmark certification process, avast! antivirus 4.8 now comes with anti-spyware capability built in to the scan engine.
avast! antivirus 4.8 now offers even more protection for your valuable data and programs, all in one download.
Anti-rootkit built-in

Another key feature of avast! antivirus 4.8 is the inclusion of anti-rootkit technology, based upon the class-leading GMER technology, and now built-in to the scan engine as standard.
Rootkits are programs that install on your system, while keeping themselves, their processes, services and registry keys hidden, to stay invisible. They represent a substantial security risk on home and company networks and standalone machines, and are usually notoriously difficult to find and remove.
avast! antivirus 4.8 has full live-system anti-rootkit protection. No boot disks required, it's all built-in and working with one install.
Strong self-protection

A significant security feature has also been added to avast! itself. avast! antivirus 4.8 now includes strong self-protection, to prevent malware from turning avast! protection off.
This key enhacement helps to add that extra layer of protection to protecting your data and programs with the multi-award winning avast! antivirus technology.

I have it and it is very good and unintrusive.

I jacked ZoneAlarm and got this. I use the XP firewall as I only visit a few sites and shut most of my ports.....

Been using Avast for a few now, its a great product. I actually dropped AVG for it.

We use AVG Free Edition on our computers here in the house. So far it we never had any problems.

But, yea. Avast sounds interesting.
