How does Avast perform out of curiosity?

Ive used it for 5 or 6 years, and I have never had a problem. Its pretty lightweight, updates daily, and its free.

It uses less resources then AVG.

I have used Avast for years and it stop things BEFORE it gets onto to your computer.. A alarm goes off to warn you a file or whatever is infected before you download it.. Done saved me a ton of times.. Nortons let them in when I had it, Avast slams the door in their face. It is the BEST anti virus I have used to date!
