Yes it's right 
I'm using Avast! and Sandboxie since 2008 and no infections (Sandboxie since 2013).

How come Avast become a wrong choice when most users use it without problems?
You can play their tweaks to see the difference.

Avast is definitely good choice. It is quite stable product, great detection/removal, nice features, good UI and some other great things.
But if you only scan computer with Avast then there is still a chance that PC is not clean.. Solution is to use some other on-demand scanners too (e.g. HitmanPro, MalwareBytes,...). There is no best product...
Sorry about off-topic:
1. ESET, amazing product (performance, detection, tests, reviews, features)
2. Avast, good freeware choice (from the paid products I would buy ESET)
3. Kaspersky, great detection but performance is not that good
4. AVG, was good product, don't like current version
5. Microsoft Security Essentials, maybe it is the best choice for the average/novice users (simple, easy to use, detection is not that good but it should detect important infections)

avast is certainly not the best. comes bundled with a lot of junk , just like most other free av's. they suffer from a lot of bugs from time . detection wise , well they have good and bad days. webblocker is one of the better ones. my fav free av atm is qihoo internet security or total security.

I agree with Kardo, and would probably get Avast! & ESET if we didn't already have them installed on two separate systems!

Avast is not the best but it is better than McAfee
add to it yet scanner Hitman Pro or Premium Mbam and will be fine.

Where can we get Nothing Antivirus?
But in seriousness, Avast is very good. Hard to say which is best; that would probably depend on your preferences and experience.

Avast is good and it's free!!!! I dont think anyone security software is the best
Avast + SBIE + Windows Firewall is a very strong combo

No security software is 100% perfect, so why worry about it. Just be yourself and go by what you are comfortable with. Goodluck.
There is no right or wrong answer. Avast is best for some, but not for others. It depends on PC hardware, user experience, browsing habits, environment, and location (ie. threats that are more prevalent in some countries than others).
