Latest version of Avast Antivirus

You're welcome Charles. :)

My Norton expires in 5 days, and I´m wondering if it´s worth to pay another year.

I´ve been quite happy with Norton antivirus and Firewall. Do I get about the same if I start using AVS? Is it enough working alone or do I need to start using Windows Defender or other additional software as well?

Hello Kari,

You get great antivirus protection from Avast. However, it will not hurt to additionally run anti-malware programs like Windows Defender or Malwarebytes as well. You just do not want to run or install more than one antivirus program.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Just what I was asking. With Norton I´ve been used to let it do the job alone. No other mal/spyware software, no Defender. I just didn´t know what to do if I change to Avast.

Thanks, I think I´ll try it.

You're welcome Kari. Please let us know what you think of it if you give it a try. :)

Hello DesertJedi,

Windows Defender is just a anti-malware (ex: spyware) type program, and is not a antivirus (ex: trojans, worms, etc....) program. I would strongly recommend that everyone have only one antivirus program installed, and as many anti-malware programs that they like. For example, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D, and SUPERAntiSpyware.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
