Question

Is Antivirus Avast Home Edition is reliable?

Answer 1

No

I suggest AVG 8.0 or AVG free Edition

Answer 2

Yes, it is very reliable. I like it more than AVG. I trashed AVG since i found avast home edition, tried their no version 8.0 and made me more disappointed, and now i am using avast professional, and among the most popular free antivirus, avast home ed. has the most features, unlike AVG Free which has no antirootkit, and avira which has no antispyware.

Answer 3

i use anti vir free anti virus and i have never had a problem so if you arnt satisfied with avast, you might want to try it

Answer 4

Although Avast is one of the best free anti-malware software avalible  but there is other free programs with higher detection rates, even more reliable and user-friendly products such as AVG 8.0 and Avira.

Answer 6

Based on reviews I've read, yes in terms of detection, kinda in terms of removal.

A lot of people use it, including myself. I just add ThreatFire on top of it, and I'm good to go.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

actually i prefer avast to AVG. AVG didn't work for me i dont know if it was insufficiency of the program or it probably was because the virus affected and disabled some part of AVG in my harddisk.. but the best ones always ask to pay for the services..
