Better than Norton. However, for the extremely lazy Warcrafters who don't have the brain power to run a scan, I still have yet to find you the perfect Anti Virus that will scan and breathe for you automatically. If Avast programmers could get it to update, restart and scan automatically when screen saver goes on, it may sell more copies. Another batch setting would be for it to update and restart the PC in boot scan and after the scan completes, either shut down or boot to Stand By or Hibernate. :)

This was my favorite antivirus program, but for some reason the latest version keeps asking me to restart every time it updates the virus definitions.

Great program, reliable and all the features that a good AV needs I sorta wish the script blocking extended into other browsers, I haven't had a problem with it but Firefox support and other browsers that use IE like Maxthon and Avant support would be nice.
