I've been seeing Avast taking a hit in these groups and I'm wondering
if E-trust is any CA's E-trust AV is any better?


I thought that Avast with all its shields prevents alot of malware and
trojans, which seem to be the major problem on the web today.


How about the CA E-trust firewall product?


I know that most are going to say that the best are NOD32 or Kaspersky, but
I have the option of getting E-trust and Avast quickly. What's the better
of the two?

I would recommend trying Avast! antivirus.
I've been using it for over a year and its been great!
It's also FREE!

avast! 4 Home Edition Download
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

I would also recommend installing the new Windows Defender
antispyware program. It's also FREE!

But it took Avast two months to correct a False Postive declaration of VBS:Zulu
using Avast
on IE7 when accessing some Microsoft web pages.

I agree.. Avast! also does some spyware, and has the option to schedule
a boot scan at next reboot. That can find a virus that normally shuts
down a/v software once Windows is running.

I almost valued your opinion until I saw the last recommendation! LOL!
I've yet to see Windows Defender actually find anything.
Are they still updating the defs for the beta version? I heard the final
version is only for XP and not for earlier OS's. Am I mistaken?
