[QUOTE="JasonUK, post: 920432, member: 86995"] +1 on this. At the end of the day you have total control over which Avast components you choose to install ~ I'd only choose the four core shields. There are a few guides out there with suggested settings to make it more private and less noisy. I personally find the user interface clearer and easier to configure than the equivalent AVG product but see that others feel the opposite. For a FREE antivirus Avast is pretty decent as either your primary or secondary (in passive mode) AV. Avast used to be the darling of free AVs until they made their mega-misstep on the use of data. The high quality protection hasn't changed though and Avast have now made it easier to tweak privacy settings. [/QUOTE]
