Am I missing something? It doesn't say anything about 100 million downloads, but 100 million users, because you need to register to use avast for 6 months..?

When I used antivirus I used Avast, simply because it was cheap (doesn't get cheaper than free) and didn't whore as much memory as AVG. Good to see it has some recognition.

I've used every free antivirus out there and I still enjoy MSE more.
And I haven't gotten anything unwanted, yet.

lol after I posted what I had posted, I began to think that it must have something to do with Ads.

I recently learned that we can have unwanted things, like trojans, and not even know it. I recently gave some files to a friend, and then he called me an hour later saying that my files were contaminated with a trojan (according to ESET's NOD32 Antivirus 4.0 with the latest definition file).
This happens to have coincided with a thread I participated in relatively recently where a user stated that the only viruses and other bad things that cause problems on your computer (the ones that you notice) are not the bad ones. The BAD ones are the ones that you DON'T notice. They are intended to leave your system running stable so that it can do what it needs to do without you ever knowing about it.
So, whenever I have said "I've never gotten a virus because my computer has always worked perfectly", I said it in ignorance not knowing that I probably had a few major ones and never knew about it. Hell, I still don't know.

Though I will admit, I miss the Nuke symbol popup combined with the "submarine diving' warning alarm sound Avast! had. PS: The are eager, like all companies, for more users, because in downloading it you have to hit their sites they use to distribute, which means their ads get hits. |
