I have been using the Home version of Avast for the past month and have come to appreciate its unobtrusive, rapid, thorough performance. Equally helpful has been the personal attention I received from their security software expert. My PC had been taken over by a virus that had fouled up its operation and managed to block access to downloads from security software sites I tried. Or when I managed to download some antivirus program, it would not install correctly. The Avast expert sent me a handy tool (Hijack This) from another company that spotted the infected files and removed them. He also offered to investigate the log and advised me. Now the PC is totally clean and protected by Avast--all at no cost whatsoever for the Home edition. I must assume that the avast! Professional Edition has even more to offer. Hard to beat the combination of a quality product and service beyond the call of duty.

Easily installed, and full featured under Windows XP x64. Purchased as a temporary measure until our IT people have something to recommend. Our standard issue is the corporate version of Symantec AV, but under 64 bit Windows, it only offers a small subset of features.
One quirk is that you cannot teach it to recognize non-standard file extensions. Every time I go to edit a script file with the extension .prg, I have to open it through a dialog box that offers warnings about the unknown file-type.

Easy to use, reliable for catching viruses and other malware, including rootkits. It has caught malware that other antivirus/antispyware programs have missed, too!
The user interface is a less professional-looking one than I am used to. Very minor complaint, overall, though!

I just love this anti virus, it detects everything, I've tested it "million" times and it catches every single virus,spyware,adware,trojan, etc... I installed it on my 3 computers, very light and efficient for all of my computers. I really do appreciate avast team for such a great product.
