great choice avast, has the ability to scan outside of windows while its loading and scans for viruses while running as a screen saver.. great av although the interface is a little weird and looks like something you would play movies with

You never need the interface thing. Just let avast run in the background and its fine!

Di dyou ever find a good anti-virus. I use Cyberdefender and I recommend it to everyone. I've seen it block stuff from getting on my computer so I know it works great.
