| 1124967 | 2010-08-06 03:42:00 | Hi Guys I have Avast 4.8 and am thinking about going to 5.00 Have many of you upgraded to 5.00 Has Avast gone like AVG and gone to bloatware ? Or is Version 5 good. Please don't mention other software, Id like to stick with Avast. |

| 1124968 | 2010-08-06 04:10:00 | v5 is way better in every way apart from actually detecting and removing malware. It's the same as 4.8 there. Just wondering what your reason for wanting to stick with Avast is? | wratterus (105) | ||

| 1124970 | 2010-08-06 05:47:00 | Using Avast 5, I like the boot scan it can do (though slow), as it found a few damaged files on my PC. Though Avast 5 has plenty of expert settings, under various categories, it perhaps gives a piece of mind that it is comprehensive, or maybe more than what's required; Not sure though; for example it has "PUP" to select for scanning unwanted/suspicious files, whatever they mean by that. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1124973 | 2010-08-06 06:38:00 | Wouldn't be surprised if ZA is the cause | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1124974 | 2010-08-06 07:10:00 | I have had no problems with Avast 5 Dump ZA - it is a PITA. Windows Fire Wall is sufficient on its own. |

| 1124975 | 2010-08-06 22:33:00 | +1 on the ZA comments. From my point of view it went bad at least 3 years ago. Get rid. | linw (53) | ||
