It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Well, when trying it out, I had no problems installing it / using it. Just the detection rate wasn't the best.

I sometimes wonder if Avast's heart is still in it. AVG seems to have caught up with them; Avast seems a little more vulnerable these days, and AVG seems significantly better than it used to be. I guess Avast's sandbox might keep it ahead of their neighbor though.

Remember this is still a Beta, so I guarantee it that it will improve. :)
