Hey, everyone I have a question. I'm running Windows XP, and I have use avast! 4.7 for my antivirus software. I haven't had any problems with viruses since I switched from McAfee. I was just wondering, how good is avast! at keeping viruses out and detecting them in scans? And how is the spyware protection, if there is any at all?

Avast! is very reliable for protection.

It has no real time spyware protection.

For real time spyware protection check out:

WinPatrel 2007

Comodo BOClean

SpywareBlaster
You have to manually update SpywareBlaster. Usually check weekly.

Although they have paid for versions, the free ones work just as well.
