I made this because just yesterday I downloaded avast! and I think it's better than any other. I did the research and it seemed better but would you argue that other antivirus programs are better? This is basically a discussion over which is the best.

After reading several thought out reviews on the Internet, I decided to uninstall AVG and download Avast. It appears to be the best free anti-virus out there, followed by Microsoft Security Essentials.
I dunno if that was for me, but I already had the 2011 edition installed before Avast. And I'd like to mention, Firefox has been faster and smoother since I downloaded Avast, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Nah was for Plasma to look at :P
& Off-topic but GoM, have you used Chrome, if so with Avast do you think chrome would work faster? I recently swapped firefox to chrome and chrome seems to be running faster than any of my other browsers, but i do prefer firefox, so if it was possible to speed that up, could back to it.

That's exactly how I got avast too. I read the reviews on cnet and I found one that just pushed me away from installing it
Pros: It will help you learn how to fix your mistake.
Cons: I thought it was a monster, like an Alien virus inside, There is no way to shut it down, and if you try and uninstall it won't let you. I had to get a file removal tool to get rid of some of its files in programs, then system restore. wasted a day.
Plus I don't have a terribly fast computer and AVG seems to require a better computer than mine while avast seems to have no effect on my computer's performance. When avast scanned my whole computer it found 17 infected files. I'm not sure if that's much but it was helpful (one was disguised in my music). Overall I find avast as the best.

I'm so used to Firefox, I can't possibly change. I like all the add-ons and personas. I only use Chrome, Opera, and IE if Firefox doesn't work properly.
@Plasma: Along with your antivirus, you should get several other things to ensure your computer is protected. Such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot. You can get many things from here.
@GhostOfMatrix wow! Thanks for the website. In a way it reminds me of impulse buying except you don't spend anything! I'll have to run it through my mom, she does the downloads even though I know for a fact I know more about a computer then her. Anyways thanks again but do those softwares block out ads because I dislike ads alot. Thanks again!
