[QUOTE="Ink, post: 941319, member: 3"] I did [I]trial [/I][B]Avast Premium Security[/B] a few weeks ago, and I would not recommend it over Avast Free Antivirus - a few reasons below: The extra features are comfort layers rather than enhanced protection. The Sandbox does not always let some apps run the way you'd like them too. A VirtualBox VM would be a more flexible replacement. The Avast Firewall isn't easy to manage, and by sticking with [B]Windows Firewall with Advanced Security[/B] you can easily block [icode]AvastUI.exe[/icode] from internet access, therefore blocking any chance of Avast promoting Premium versions. Plus it's all FREE. No credit card required. Was, past tense. Who invented "complete protection"? Bitdefender Total Security? F-Secure Total? Sounds like a marketing term to shift products. An updated OS, driver updates, modern browsers with built-in antimalware and silent updates, extensions to block harmful content, and cloud and local storage for backups. How many more layers is required? [/QUOTE]
