Zylstra, have you tried AVG 8? A lot of people say it's easier to use than 7.5.

Nope, I haven't tried the latest version... I figured it was still 7.5.
Ill have to stick that on a flash drive for my cousin, he uses AVG. (He used to have Avast, but, when his brother redid his computer, he put AVG on it. So, I never bothered to switch it back, since, I figured, Avast and AVG are right around the same detection rates...)

i just realized there was an avast there but i voted avira cause they make avast can i revote?

I don't think that Avira makes Avast. Alwil makes Avast...

I remember there were a lot of people freaking out about AVast 4.8 (if your a die-hard Avast fan...), but, everything they changed was internal.
I really think that the "MP3 Player" interface makes it difficult for some users to use. I didn't have a problem with it when I first started using it.. and if I couldn't find something, I just looked under the drop down menu, which has everything that's on the main screen. Not to mention, most of my scans that I do with Avast are boot time scans.

Hey, Carbon. I dont know if you can edit a poll, but, if you cant, and if you want me to, I can change it so that users can remove their vote and re-vote.

Using Avast on my laptop and desktop. Think the other laptop (she who must be obeyed ) still has time left with Norton trial. After that, will be putting Avast on it also.

I have to adjust my info:
98 - AVG 7.5
2K - Avira
XP - AVG 8.0
Vista - Avast

Zylstra · « **Reply #23 on:** July 28, 2008, 10:57:51 PM »

Now watch as everyone re-does their votes...

I changed mine to Avast, McAfee, and Other (for ClamWin)

It'd be interesting to know, how the answers would be before AVG 8.0 introduction.
I, for instance, had AVG 7.5 installed across the board.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #27 on:** July 29, 2008, 08:33:31 PM »

Want me to add ClamWin?

For me it would have been the same actually.
