@1998anirudh a virus is malware dumb ass

[gamepro127onPSN]

The detection rates are SOOOO Off and Avast! is a BIG TIME RAM hogger!

[amonkeyz]

Do some research on it before you speak. Avast! is only a RAM hog on High, on Standard its low.

[gamepro127onPSN]

Okay, do this. After browsing the internet for a while...Do Ctrl+alt+del and open up task manager. And see how much "aswwebsv.exe" is using. Its 60-80MB for me, which is HORRIBLE!

[lukeylad118]

I have been browsing for 3 hours with avast 5 and its not gone above 10MB
