Nov 18, 2014 5:38PM PST

Hi All,

I am Garima and i am pursuing my graduation in Galgotias University. In Galgotias computer lab Avast is installed on every system. And there are using Avast from long time. I don't know whether it is a free version or paid version. But i don't think that Avast detect any thing.Yes it prompts message of trojan horse but not sure it really works or not.

There has never been a best.

Due to the moving criteria of coverage vs. size vs. overhead and more, the brutal fact is that not one can be the best. But moving past that the best antivirus is us. Most of the time the infection is let in or installed by us.

Yes i agree that no one is the best as infection may come from anywhere and every antivirus may get fail to stop that virus. So i am trying different antivirus one by one Happy
