CJ Hardy - quora.com	I used and recommended Avast Free to all my clients for three to four years. They played psychological tricks and shell games to trick people into the paid version all that time, (and the tricks worked, on several of my elderly or less tech-savvy clients) but late last year I finally got fed up. I now recommend the free version of Avira. In terms of protection, Avira is every bit as good, or better. Avira and Avast both consistently rank very high in the rankings of all three independent testing sites. With Avira you get one small popup per day, or per reboot. But you don't have to register. Ever. And it never tries to trick you. I have nothing against anyone trying to make an honest buck. Avast certainly has the right to fool people into paying, if that's the way they want to play. And Avast is still stellar protection, and free. I simply prefer straightforward business practices. Want to sell me something? Be direct about it!
Rahul Chatterjee - quora.com	I personally prefer Bitdefender and Kaspersky in the paid segment but yes, in case of a free version, I usually prefer Avast. For a basic user who uses computer for personal purposes and performs regular basic tasks, the recent result sheets of several independent lab tests clearly indicate Avast has the capability to provide a great basic protection overall with its highly satisfying malware detection ratio, even without spending anything. Common users like us are not professional or technically skilled enough to rate or to taste the overall efficiency of an anti-malware program by executing a package of zero-hour malwares samples without triggering the hidden malicious codes for a single time—we don't have the proper in depth advanced knowledge how to handle those type of malware samples in proper way. So obviously we have to depend a lot on the most recent AV results sheets that are evaluated by several independent organizations, to find out which is ahead of whom (and in which particular aspects) and what the pros and cons of a particular AV product are. All the details are available for absolutely free just for the common users to compare among different security suits, and to find out the most suitable one which matches with the needs and expectations of the user's respectively. Based on those reports, Avast is continuously improving by updating and upgrading its program versions and detection techniques, and is able to get tagged as TOP RATED consistently, as even its free version performed exceptionally well during those lab tests. Except its true detection ratio stats, considering the clean informative UI, average time frequency of delivering new virus definition updates, false positive reports percentage, user-friendliness, flexibility to change even minor changes based on user’s personal preferences, and other useful bundled components (like Avast Password or a lightweight PC tune up to boost performance of your PC, which it provides in its FREE version— including the advanced behavior detection technology of entire system OS through its several layers of protection like Rootkits scanning), boot time scanning, Avast surely deserves to be recommended in the free segment specifically, I believe.
