I've been burned by a lot of other AV programs, either they stop giving
away free virus definition updates and make you pay for them, or they
don't update often enough and you get caught off guard by some new
infection, or etc. etc. I've recommended Avast to a lot of people who
use Windows and they've all been very happy with it.
You probably know this already but they do have avast for linux and a
few other platforms as well. but one thing i dont like about avast is,
especially for the free edition, they require that you provide a license
key.

imho i would much rather have an AV that doesnt require a license key
(im sure that there are some that are like that)
