"A-1 in all aspects."
Version: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1456
Pros
Real-time virus definition updates, A-1 customer support, cloud services, easy to use controls and easy to use in general. Overall, fantastic product!
Cons
Uhh... honestly cant think of any.
Summary
My paid version of Avast! saved my computer 6 times... not counting the A-1 customer service and real time protection tools that come with the program. I only use Avast! and CCleaner (which is an awesome pair) since Malwarebytes gave my computer really harmful malware which crashed it twice. In my Avast! scan log reported 36 malware/spy&addware infected files. I kept getting error messages from mbam and the installer wouldn't uninstall it. So, I sent my scan log to Avast! (has the option when you finish a scan to report it to Avast! and I did. I contacted customer service and they cleaned my system for me thru the program!!! Fortunately mbam and all it's BS was gone in 10 minutes.

"NEVER CREDIT A SOFTWARE BY INTERFACE"
Version: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1456
Pros
IF YOU WANT TO BE VERY SURE OF THE SECURITY SOFTWARE YOU HAVE, YOU SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON USERS REVIEW ON THE INTERNET TO DECIDE YOUR FAITH. MANY OF THE POSTERS/REVIEWERS HERE ARE THE STAFFS, FRIENDS AND RELATIONS OF THE DEVELOPERS.
JUST TO BE VERY SURE OF YOUR ANTI-VIRUS YOU HAVE ON YOUR PC, GO TO HACKING WEBSITES AND DOWNLOAD THE LATEST SOPHISTICATED VIRUS SCRIPT, SOFTWARE, HACKING TOOLS AND DANGEROUS FILES AND THEN GIVE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE A TRIAL TO SEE WHAT IT'S UP-TO. THEN YOU WILL DECIDE YOUR FAITH.
THE LATEST ENCRYPTED VIRUSES AND MALWARE WILL FIRST BYPASS YOUR ANTI-VIRUS,FIREWALL TO PENETRATE DEEP INTO YOUR PC AS LEGITIMATE PROGRAM AND WILL ATTACHED ITSELF WITH IE, FF OR ANY OTHER USEFUL PROGRAM. THE VIRUS OR MALWARE WILL EVEN DISABLE YOUR SECURITY SOFTWARE INFECTION DETECTION INTERNALLY. EVEN IF YOU CARRIED OUT FULL SYSTEM SCAN WITH ALL THE ANTIVIRUS IN THE INTERNET 100 TIMES PER A DAY, NO INFECTION WILL BE DETECTED.Cons
AVAST IS A CRAP. DON'T CALL AVAST SECURITY SOFTWARE. AFTER INSTALLATION AND SCAN, AVAST WILL FIRST DELETE YOUR WINDOWS 7 MICROSOFT LEGIT FILES AS TREAT. IF YOU DID A BOOTING SCAN, YOU WILL START TO EXPERIENCE BLUE SCREEN, CRASH OR HARDWARE FAILURE ON YOUR PC.
I DOWNLOADED THE LATEST HACKING TOOLS, 37 VIRUS AND MALWARE FILES AND DID A TEST TO SEE THE BEST DETECTION SECURITY SOFTWARE.
TREND MICRO WAS THE BEST, FOLLOWED BY BITDENFENDER,,,THIRD WAS EMSISOFT,,,AND THE FOURTH WAS IKARUS SECURITY.
AVAST COULDN'T EVEN DETECT A SINGLE VIRUS.
ANYWAY, AVAST IS GOOD IN DETECTING 1994 EXPIRED VIRUSES.Summary
DOWNLOAD THE LATEST SOPHISTICATED VIRUS, SCRIPT, SOFTWARE, HACKING TOOLS AND DANGEROUS FILES TO TEST YOUR SECURITY SOFTWARE TO DECIDE YOUR FAITH
BUT YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL OR YOU WILL GET HACKED ON THE PROCESS -

"Very Impressed"
Version: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1426
Pros
Avast has excellent overall protection and after Avast added cloud technology it really feels more robust and reliable.
I put it through some test and i must say...im very impressed
Of about 224.200 infected files it detected 223.472 as malware
I tested it against 170 malware links and it blocked 162 of them
In False posetives test it detected 14 files of 490 as malwareCons
In performance testing I notised Avast to be slightly more heavy
then v6...especially in On-access scanning.
Other then that..no consSummary
In combination of Protection,Ease of use and Performance Avast is
simply excellent and suitable for both advanced and novise users. -
