"Never found anything." by:Proffessor avast! Virus Definitions 5.x VPS
Pros:None that I can think of.
Cons:I have never found anything over the last 2 years trying several versions of Avast Free when I knew my computer was infected with viruses and spyware.
Other Thoughts:In my opinion this is not the best of the free antivirus software's. In my opinion Comodo Internet Security with firewall/virus/spyware protection and sandbox is the best if you are going to use free protection software for your computer. 1 virus is all it takes to destroy your system and Avast missed several of them on my computer, lucky for me Comodo cleaned up the mess before it was too late.
