850182 2010-01-20 06:52:00 Think everyone's gone off v4. And moved to MS's one. Altho, since its only beta, I wouldnt try it till its final. Hmm just looked the final maybe out now Speedy Gonzales (78)

850186 2010-01-20 09:47:00 Looks like its causing a lot of probs (forum.avast.com). Crashes, its slow, it takes ages to update Speedy Gonzales (78)
850187 2010-01-21 07:17:00 Got an infected drive, cloned it 3 times - Had Norton Originally, said it was clean :lol: It had MB run through the other day so got rid of some infections.

Removed Norton, installed Avast 5 - then seconded drive, removed Norton Installed MSSE third Drive Still to do with Nod32

Avast 5 = 3 infections
MSSE = 7 Infections (trojans) that Avast missed on the first drive.



Must admit the interface is a lot easier to understand on the New Avast5.

Is that for real ?
I have never heard of a mass exodus to anything Microsoft aside from Windows and Office .
What was wrong with 4 ?

perform well for a year or two,
AVG was the Bee's knees about 4 or 5 years ago then Avast!
Now a Microsoft product rules the free market:D
Just goes to show, you can't see the future.:p
