719841 2008-12-06 19:58:00 When discussing av programs people seem to forget that there are 2 major considerations.
1. Is it reliable, getting updates, does it clash with say ZoneAlarm, how good is its user interface. How much system resources does it consume. How customisable is it - can you set it to not scan certain folders ? etc Do the developers fix bugs quickly.
2. Does it pick up many viruses ?
Thanks for that Digo,I wondered what av's were for.

719843 2008-12-06 20:07:00 Agree with Speedy when I had Avast I turned off the engines I did not need such as P2p as well, I was very happy with it the user interface is one of the easiest to use but have now stepped up to Nod32 as got it free for a year with the mag subscription. I personally would not go back to AVG we have 4 other comps in the house all running Avast and it has never clashed with any other program not ZA or Comodo it's just so easy to use and un obtrusive and scans in real time no need to schedule scans gary67 (56)

I think a second look at Avast is in order.

So much better some say.

from AVG and Microsoft. Ran several different scans but
could not fix the problem until I posted my HJT log and
followed instructions fom SPEEDY who sorted it.
Are you able to access the MS update server ?
Are you getting any MS error codes ?
