I used Avast, but not anymore. While it ran in the backround w/o sucking up too many resources and didn't clog my computer with pop-ups (outer info or otherwise) it didn't prevent my computer from getting viruses. I had it on my kids' computer which I would reformat every week because it would get so virus clogged from MY Space and game site downloads. Avast wouldn't even scratch the surface at removing those viruses, so in my experience, it's worthless. I recently downloaded the Google-pack which I believe uses Norton and Spyware Doctor among other things. I also use Ad-aware and Hijack this. So far,so good. It's the longest that computer has gone w/o an infection. It's been about 3 weeks which is amazing considering that I was getting viruses pretty much the day after reformatting and installing Avast, among others. I might give AVG a try if this recipe fails me.
