"Wonderful program - Found trojans on first scan that Norton did not"
Version: Avast Home Edition 4.6
Pros
It worked and found viruses that Norton did not and was free to boot. Norton kept wanting more money and wasn't working. I kept getting more and more viruses with Norton. On the first scan Avast found and got rid of things that Norton should have gotten rid of.
