| 654152 | 2008-03-30 06:07:00 | Certified by West Coast Labs Checkmark certification process, avast! antivirus 4.8 now comes with anti-spyware capability built in to the scan engine. So there's no real time protection or am I simply reading this wrong? |

| 654153 | 2008-03-30 06:11:00 | Well it looks and does the same thing as 4.7, except for the new anti-spyware/rootkit feature. Install it You read it wrong |

| 654155 | 2008-03-30 06:44:00 | Would Avast 4.8 generally be more suitable than AVG Free which I use, and perhaps do away with Ad-Aware 2007?(which is slow to update on dial up). I always thought Avast is more complicated (the interface) relative to AVG... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 654156 | 2008-03-30 06:56:00 | I dont think AVG (free) has as many features as Avast (Home) does it?? Avast Home has 7 scanners (For IM programs, email, websites, outlook, standard shield, P2P programs, and network). Some of these options only work in 2000/XP/2003 tho I was pretty impressed with its Network scanner, a few versions ago. If you share a folder, on a network, if this is running, it will detect if there is a virus etc in either folder, on either PC (so I found out one day). It alerted me on this PC that the other PC had a virus in its shared folder Theres nothing to configure in Avast (well only if you run the program from program filers to scan a whole hdd). All you do is click on the arrow up top, go to select skin and change it to the other skin (its easier to see whats what). Click on the folder selection icon (besides the -> icon). Select the hdds you want to scan. Then on the left click on scan archive files. Then click on the -> to scan the hdds you selected |

| 654157 | 2008-03-30 10:23:00 | Yeah, Avast Home would be better than AVG. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 654158 | 2008-03-30 21:14:00 | Hi, I downloaded Avast yesterday and had a look at it, but there doesn't seem to be any way of scheduling updates and scans other than at boot time. Did I miss something? |

| 654159 | 2008-03-30 21:19:00 | You'll have to pay for the Pro version to do that. Thats one of the differences between the Home and Pro version. Differences are here (avast.com) |
