What an amazing coincidence, since the list I have been posting here
for many months now looks surprisingly similar, though I don't use
"avast!" but only listed it as an alternative to AVG, which I do use.
But you say you have them both installed. Experts advise against ever
having more than one full AV program installed at a time.

I realize this is only a miraculous, astonishing coincidence, and
was in no way intended to plagiarize my short list without giving any
credit where credit is due.
