Cody from FroogleGeek: "Let’s face it, if you paid for your antivirus program you spent too much. There are plenty of free antivirus programs out there that will do the job just as good as the paid ones. One of the best things about free virus scanners if you can download more than one and run them one at a time to see if your computer is infected with anything. Granted you shouldn’t leave more than one antivirus program installed for a long period of time, running multiple virus scans from different companies can pick up viruses that one scanner may have missed."

Avast has received financing of $1.6 billion from Credit Suisse Securities, Jefferies and UBS Investment Bank to complete the deal.
