[QUOTE="Wraith, post: 820019, member: 74314"] It's not the best... it's not the worst. As a free antivirus it gets the job done but at the cost of your data. In fact the only 2 free AV's I recommended till date were Kaspersky Free and Avast Free. But since the inclusion of hardened mode in AVG I would recommend Kaspersky free and AVG Free instead of Avast free. At least in AVG the ads are not as intrusive as Avast. As for getting infected I can show you pictures of PC's infected that have Norton or Bitdefender or Kaspersky. Time and again it has been said that if a user does not practice safe habits, no antivirus will be able to protect the user. The only factor is the time. Sooner or later they'll get infected.
