TSGL: Avast w/additional features

[edLynn]

I'm still using XPPro, with Panda AV and Firewall, Spybot, and AdAware.

I always come up with a Zero on full virus scanning, and only minor tracking 
offenders in the spyware class.

Why should I take on Avast, and if I did, what conflicts would it cause with 
Panda? Or shouldn't I worry? Am I in the "If it ain't broke..." class?

After reading the comments, I need some of the level=headed thinking. Any 
volunteers?
