I guess if you can plug a product without "endorsing" it, I can too. The
only caveats I have are that avast! takes a long time to do a full virus
scan (if you ask it to check everything and have a fairly sizeable number of
programs) and it does not allow the computer to take automatic System
Restore points if avast! is running in the background. Otherwise, a very
smooth, unobtrusive virus checker.

I have no financial or business relationship with avast! by ALWIL in any
way.
