Avast! Stop, ye evil virus!

I like Avast for protecting the Pee Cee. Our town übergeek recommended it, and my experience so far bears it out. A couple of months ago I was visiting a friend who had a fairly decent machine, at least as far as the chip and disk were concerned, but he had two major problems. The first, insufficient RAM, was easy to fix. The second -- well, he had at least seven viruses (I really want to say viri), and that actually was easy to fix too. I downloaded Avast! and set it to work. It took a couple of days, several scans and restarts, but it seems to have gotten ALL the zombies out.

Avast! is free for personal use. This is not an ad. It is an unsolicited testimonial.
