What's wrong with Avast! IS?

[FalseChristian]

I downloaded and installed the free version and it slowed my computer to a crawl. Not only that but I couldn't uninstall it! I had to reload Windows 7 again! I'm now using AVG and it's much better.

avast IS has no free version. Only the AV is FREE

yes I realize that, but only the Avast! Free Antvirus is FREE

The avast! Internet Security is paid

I used Avast! with Win7 and had no problems with it. I suspect something else is at fault. Perhaps you were previously infected with something and it has become active due to it recognizing Avast!. Or something else is afoot.

Next time you can't uninstall an antivirus package, check the manufacturer website (or do a google search). Just about all antivirus software publishers provide a stand-alone utility to manually remove their products. Avast has one here:

You probably didn't properly uninstall your previous antivirus software and it caused problems for you, that or your system was majorly infested.

I've never had a problem with Avast, if anything its really reliable and one of the fastest compared to other antiviruses.

I haven't used Avast in a long time, switched to Avira.

That is true but you can configure what popups you want to have.

Do it like me:disable them all!!!
