TSGL: Avast w/additional features

[Ian Ramsey-Planck]

I've been using it for years, LOVE it. Low memory usage, and so far has
exceeded my expectations. It scans files before their saved to your computer
and if it's infected just deletes them.

 4 weeks ago I had McAfee, downloaded a zip file and unzipped it. Had one of
my bank accounts accessed as per a phone call for authorization, I
reformatted as I had a key logger on here.

Downloaded Avast instead of McAfee and downloaded the same file, Avast
stopped the download at 2% because it caught the key logger. It's the best
I've found in a long time.

This looks pretty good based on this review. There was some discussion 
on the list a while ago about which free AV to use. This seems to have 
upped the anti as far as capability goes.

Are any of you using this yet and, if so, what's your impression.

 From the review:

    Avast 4.8 now protects against spyware, rootkits, and other forms of
    nonvirus malicious software. Best of all, it's free for personal use.
