In this day and age, virus protection is probably less important than spyware, firewall, and script protection. Not everything that can attack your computer, or even make it a zombie for a DDOS attack, comes in the form of a virus.The Free Avast Home Edition is a much more comprehensive protection.

AVAST is PC only. Does anyone know of a free Mac compatible virus software?
Can Avast be on at the same time McAfee is on? Just wondering. I have McAfee. And did you say it had anti-spyware on it Rich?

Let me just point out something. This is not to toot my decision over the AVG Free Advisor issue

They don't! But as it says in the Bible, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
(Remember, I'm from rural Vermont, our Bibles are a little different than the rest. You probably don't have "God helps those who help themselves" either.)
I read in a security update this weekend that it is best to run your anti-virus and anti-malware software when your computer is in SAFE MODE (to do an active scan that is). Supposedly it is easier for them to do their job in an environment were all drivers and dlls are not loaded.
1. Do any of you do this?
2. Would it be truly advantageous as the article suggests?
3.Wouldn't this also limit the AV or AM softwares access to all content on your PC?

Avast can do a boot time scan which means that it runs the scan when the computer boots up before it even loads windows. This way it will catch anything that might be either hidden in windows or set to run at startup (and therefore wouldn't be able to be deleted by a regular scan).
That and Avast is biblical just like believer's baptism...

Where is this option found? Do I have to select it before shutting down my computer?
