5 stars
Version: Avast Home Edition 4.6
"Very good protection...for FREE!"
Pros: Avast protects your whole computer, including your E-mail and instant messenger. It has many scan options, the full system scan, files and folders, p2p scan, and a boot time scan. Seems to work as well as a lot of the virus protection on the market that you would have to pay for. I recommend Avast Home Edition and give it 5 stars and two thumbs up!
Cons: Doesn't include a firewall, but there are plenty of free ones available out there.

Hi,
You said it is a great anti-virus program but there is no firewall, but you mentioned that there are plenty of free ones available, could you give me a couple of them please (if you know of any?)
Thank you,
April

I gave this product 5 stars because it deserves it! As for having 5 times the amount of "helpful votes" than you, I imagine it is because I write 5 times the positive reviews that you do. Also my reviews are mostly in the top 50 downloads, where yours are mostly in the last 50 downloads of unpopular software products. No, I don't have 20 friends standing by to rate my reviews. I figure most the "helpful" votes come from the staff of the software publishers, as I generate a lot of downloads on their product. No, I am not going to run for President or start a new religion. Please stop stalking me.

ANOTHER RAVE REVIEW from goldengreek, as usual.
Your comments such as, "Terrific Software!" and "5 stars and two thumbs up!", have become meaningless because you lavish them on so many applications.
Another thing I wonder about is how you manage to get so many positive user comments on your reviews.
I have also noticed that many of your reviews manage to garner 20 or more positive user comments within mere minutes of your posting them. Why you must have 20 or 30 people who are on standby at all times, hanging on your every word here, ready and willing to give you a positive rating.
You really should start your own religion or run for President or something.
