What is the problem with the downloaded file? It could be corrupt, try to get an alternative download location by searching the file at www.filemirrors.com

I personally haven't tried Avast, but I use AVG and it is pretty fast and an efficient antivirus. Another populour free AV is Antivir PE ...

lol..
it isnt anywhere near the best u can have for ur PC.
Try KAV.
But avasst is the best u can get for free.

KAV is cool but it's too slow :(
i find avg cool as we have regular updates and it's light on the system too :D

Zonealarm

Why doesn't anyone mention ZoneAlarm Security Suite. It prevents entry of virus in the first place with its firewall and Real-Time Scan. Moreover, it has quick updates.
The only thing i dont like about it is minor upgrades. I have to download the whole 16 Mb file each time i want to upgrade my firewall.
Guess what, i have free upgrades for 144 years. Thanks to crackers but I dont encourage anyone ro use cracks and illegal progs.
