The fact that the basic free version is active, not passive is a wonderful key that the Avast software brings to the table.

None that I can think of.

"Awesome, Awesome"
Version: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1426
Pros
Catches all bad code and does it better than some you have to pay for
Cons
I am unable to find anything about Avast! The website is another story.
Summary
This stupidity of having to put in a minimum number of characters is ludicrous and idiotic!
I don't like that Avast will NOT open in our default browser. This certainly a detractor on your website! Chrome is not my default browser. What browser would it bring up if I didn't have Chrome?

"It's not worth installing - and it installs spyware."
Version: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1426
Pros
Good antivirus (I thought) but now it installs other stuff, so I don't trust it anymore - am going to uninstall immediately.
Cons
Installs spyware (is. Google Chrome) on your computer. Resist Google - it is EVIL
Summary
Good antivirus (I think) but cannot be trusted because it installs Google Chrome spyware browser by default, I feel betrayed by this once trusted product.
I will never trust it again, -
