For several years I have recommended Avast Home to those who want to get rid of Norton, and do not want to pay for an AV. I have used it some, and currently have it on my laptop. My own experience is that it downloads and installs without incident, the updates are also without problems, scan times are short, it is compatible with all my programs, and none of us have had an infection.

I also am using KAV6 on my desktop, and there is no question in my mind that KAV and NOD32 and others have a higher detection rate than Avast. However, the area in which AV Comparatives shows that Avast falls short is in the area of trojan, and other detection. I am persuaded that Avast in combination with a good AT, such as Ewido Plus, provides as much real world security as the others for those of us who are safe surfers.

Avast is a great AV. What more can one ask that to go for months and even years with no infection. That is the proof of the pudding as far as I am concerned.
