    Thanks for the free insult.

    That's you down as a Grisoft shareholder.

    Feel free to check out these 'sheep', most of whom seem to prefer Avast:

    No connection with AVG/Grisoft here! Fine do what you want but you are choosing to listen to a small minority without trying it for yourself. If you were happy with 7.5, version 8 is far better.

    As for Avast, it gives false positives in my experience.

    Aside from the ONE problem ive had with avg which was just a few weeks ago and I had to reinstall it. Ive NEVER had a problem with AVG before and it finds nasties that Norton and Mcafee havnt (REAL nasties)
    Im not saying install it, im saying it does a VERY good job (for free).
    Avast I personally just dont like (personal preference) but I do recommend one or the other. AVG for fast computers and AVAST for the slower kind.
