I have been using Avast antivirus for the last few years on both my home PCs. I feel secure that it is working very well to protect my PCs. Glad that it is FREE !!!

Pros: Very good protection.
Frequent, automatic updates.
Small footprint. Doesn't seem to slow down / disrupt my work.
It is Free!
Cohabits amiably with ZoneAlarm firewall & Spysweeper antispyware.

Cons: Menu Controls are not very intuitive.
I haven't yet figured out how to schedule a periodic scan.

Avast Home is great. I thoroughly enjoy its simplicity and it is a far better than Norton AntiVirus (or Norton AntiProgress as I sometimes think of it).
