Is Avast less good than other paying antivirus ?

I rather have a free antivirus if this antivirus is good. I have Windows Vista. But if I pay another antivirus, will it bring me something better than Avast? or Avast is good enough?

Is Avast less good than other paying antivirus ?free adware remover

So according to brockin??whatever, Avast is the worst he's never seen?!? I've successfully used Avast for nearly 5 years. It updates daily, and I've never had a virus successfully get past it. It caught a virus recently in an email, so why wouldn't I trust it? Why do people think that paying a high price for something makes it better than free versions that have been around longer and more successfully?!?!?

Avast is a pretty decent anti virus. good in protection but also have a rather high false positives rate (that is detects a virus or a trojan even if it is not). If you rather want a free antivirus go with avira antivir classic. The only problem is that it has limited usage (good for at least several months) then you have to go to another cycle of installing/updating it. If you dislike this option go with AVG free edition. It is better than avast (although just a slight difference). But if you're willing to pay then go with - 1. kaspersky AV, 2. ESET NOD32 AV or 3. avira's antivir premium
