Beside this antivirus there is lots of good antivirus like: Emsisoft Internet Security and ESET. I have ESET in home and Emsisoft in office; both are working properly and they using low resource unlike Avast.

According to me Avast Internet Security worth buying because Avast keeps the eight shields in real time and add new modules of protection. Besides WebRep-web-site reputation and AutoSandbox-space in which to run suspicious files, comes the remote support. Remote Assistance allows a friend to connect to your computer (and vice versa) to solve technical problems that would otherwise be impossible to resolve by mail or telephone. It's as simple as cut and paste a code and press OK. Avast Free Antivirus is classic for updates using signature database, but also relies on the cloud more than ever. On the one hand, has a reputation service that checks the security of a file, on the other, is constantly updated via streaming. Avast Internet Security provide more protection compare to other antivirus product, The firewall of Avast Internet Security is not far behind. Automatically detects new network connections and quick setup allows you to assign security to each. You can define IPs friends, changing rules for each process and use the network utilities included. Avast Internet Security also offers a simple spam filter blocker website, which is more effective if you enable an administrative password in the program options. The offer of Avast Internet Security is complete with the usual quarantine files.
