Version: Avast Professional Edition 4.7.942
"True, It's Free & Very Good, But Also Annoying"
Pros: Functionally, there is NOTHING wrong with this antivirus program, plus it's free. It will get the job done. You should get this if you have no antivirus software.
Cons: ANNOYANCES GALORE! First of all, you have to register (for free), but it takes a good while, is done thru email, and only lasts 14 months as I recall. Ouch. But it's still free.
Also, it just doesn't stop! It auto-starts, which most users may want, but NOT ME. Hey, program! Do what I say, not what you feel like doing! I even took it out of my startup programs list using a few different methods, and somehow it still auto-started. Plus I have to exit it through the task manager. Basically, I leave this program uninstalled, and only install it if I feel I may have a virus.
But... it is still free & effective, so I use it.
