LUCKY AND NICE!, that's an epic free random present ha, even if avast is not completely the best I still like it and have used the free version sense 4.8. The stuff available in the Pro version is useful still I would think so that's cool. I wonder what the person who bought avast and used the wrong email is thinking right now LOL!..
Too bad avast sucks, and I have an unlimited licenses of Symantec Endpoint Protection!
ooo is that a good one cold

It's what they use on base, so I would say it's pretty good.
Hand over one of the licences then might wanna download it and whats a good firewall oo and im in vent
SEP (symantec endpoint protection) comes with a built in firewall.

Avast does not suck :), but eh opinions are opinions. I find it to be the best protection if you are a tech person like me and know how not to be infected to begin with. I would admit though that endpoint is a good protection though.
i had avast i had more then 45 virus and with avg it took them down well and true depends on how u use it
If you really want to keep virus's off you need to get multiple antivirus programs just to be safe.
I believe that would be over kill! If you want to keep viruses off, only download stuff that are from a good source, and watch what you surf.
You should also use ad blockers like (ad block plus) its an extension for Firefox and chrome.
You should also use ccleaner to remove temporary files and such from your computer daily since that's where viruses will hide.
Last, set up a schedule to scan your computer. And always run ccleaner before you scan that way the scanner wont have that much more to scan through.
And if you can I recommend using malware bytes anti malware pro edition, it works well.

in fairness cold i always run a ccleaner every weak :P
I have ccleaner run everytime my computer starts.

I use Malwarebyte and a Norton antivirus.

I've used Malwarebytes for a while now its what I clean systems out with.

Malware bytes is indeed a good combatant to clean out a system of malware.
i know avast isnt the greatest, but i was in need of an anti virus and it just popped into my e-mail.
there's no way so send it back to the one who fucked up. so i used it.
but i'll take a look at the one cold mentioned.
also, has any one used nod32?
using multiple anti virus isnt good, they will recognize the other antiviruses are viruses... i know from experince, my dad tried it.
I used to use nod32 a long time ago as well AVG.
I once got to play with nod32, it is one of the great ones of the many available. But, I have always favored avast sense 4.8, if avast ever gives me troubles in the future. I will switch to nod32 or the other top anti-viruses. Although, for myself I am secure with where I go, so I rarely ever run into an infection of any kind.
I actually jumped from Avast to Nod32 then to AVG and finally to Malwarebytes and Endpoint.
