Just re collected a persons PC, they had been infected badly just over a month and a half ago, they had avast originally which was totally destroyed by the infections / Malware. Reinstalled it as it was so bad and unstable.
Put in a trial Nod32 for month, called them a couple of weeks back to advise the trial was ending and they said they had no problems with Nod, it was stopping a lot of the things the kids were trying to download, BUT they didn't want to pay for it, so they removed Nod and put Avast back ------ Its infected AGAIN :rolleyes: with the same types of infections.

Sure NO AV is perfect and you cant protect against stupid acts by users.
