Hi mark5019,
As a matter of interest are you using the free or paid version of Avast?

That's ok.
Re your question - is it better than Avast? Different people have different views.
As you are currently using the free version, it is probably worth trying to see what you think of it.

Very good.
I'm not using it so I will be interested in your thoughts after you have trialled it for a period.
It seems to get good press.
Did you uninstall or disable Avast?
