If itīs the free version, It finds dangerous stuff everywhere :o and recommends you to upgrade to full version:)

Thanks for the laugh!
But there is a trojan horse and Avast (free) did abort it from downloading, or at least the IS site.

I think for a free version they do a lot for keeping the customers happy.
Better to be careful and give a warning than not giving a warning at all....

Thatīs a great business idea. providing free software with no need for upgrading...
Edit: Oops!!! Above post was totally changed, so this comment no longer have a point :-[

it still works fine....
Apart from the false positives.

Thanks for the link....
As I stated before we never had problems with AVAST before, they are always to find virus,worms and trojan before our other scanner Norton.
Yes they work together...
Sorry I will never ever try to warn or help anybody again....
And yes we still like AVAST.

Of course their are upgrades more than enough but you don't have to switch to a pro account if you don't want to.
For the free version their are also upgrades....DUHHHHH
Besides that the costumer service for a free account is real great and they did fix the problem...
With Norton it takes longer to fix and we pay for it

You are right, Kaycee.
Avast is a good antivirus software, even the freeware version. Antivir from Avira is also very good and comes with a freeware version too.
No antivirus software detects all viruses and every program can have 'false positives' sometimes.
Here's an older article about this, but nothing changed since then: http://ask-leo.com/i_run_antivirus_software_why_do_i_still_sometimes_get_infected.html (http://ask-leo.com/i_run_antivirus_software_why_do_i_still_sometimes_get_infected.html)
I always give the advise to use a firewall too. And one that blocks incoming as well as outgoing traffic. The firewall in your router only blocks incoming traffic.
So you need a firewall softwareprogram too. And Windows update!
There is no way to stay safe for all 100 percent.
Better not to have 2 antivirus programs installed together on the same computer. They can see each other as a virus and give false warnings.

Yes I know: no two antivirus programs istalled on the same PC (we tried it and it worked fine they didn't see each other as a virus no false warnings (THANK GOD) but we decided Avast is a keeper while the antivirus program found far more bad stuff than the expensive Norton.
And yes we have a fire wall in coming as out coming protection.
But your right nothing is 100% SAVE.....
