To say Avast has gone out of its way to make its anti-virus program blind
accessible is laughable. It may well be more accessible now than it was
previously, but it is still not as blind friendly as MSE. If Avast really
wanted to make its program blind friendly, they would make it easy to remove
without having to jump through hoops. In some cases, you need to reboot
into safe mode to completely remove it, which is impossible without sighted
help. How blind friendly is this? That's why I never considered Avast for
my anti-virus program of choice. Until someone can produce test results
demonstrating that it is clearly superior to MSE at malware detection, I'll
stick with the latter.

In my opinion yes, alot more people are using it as opposed to microsoft
security essentials. I just don't like to put all my eggs in 1 basket, and
avast have gone out of their way to make their products accessible for the
blind, and in my opinion any company that takes the time out for the blind
especially for a free product deserves respect.

Avast works well on slower machines, i had avast free loaded on a celeron
processor running at 900 MHZ with 1 GB of ram.
