Thank you Wargollo, first post has been updated. :)
hi first time ever posting on this site. just got windows 7 ultimate and im loving it. I had avast home on my old pc and on my lap top right now. Is proffesional worth the money to upgrade to? or is home good enough?
Hi sblocker and Welcome to the forums. Avast Home Edition provides basic protection which is ideal for most home users. Avast pro contains certain extra features which makes it more stronger.
You can see the comparison chart here: avast! antivirus - Versions comparison
Home edition is good enough. Basically you just get 1 extra module (a script blocker) and scheduled scanning with pro.
Avast Beta 5.0.239 available.
New beta refresh [5.0.239]
I've been using Avast for a while now, and I've always had the update setting to automatic. It's a great free antivirus, I've had a couple of false positives, but better to be safe than sorry.
Avast is one of the best FREE programs out there that I have found for my use. It is really up to the user to decide what is best for themselves. No one can decide for you. Just try different programs and decide for yourself. That is the best advice I can give.
