I started using Avast years ago. I did so on the advice of the computer
tech who cleaned 28 viruses and trojans from my system.... that was
supposed to be protected with Norton. I occasionally get notices
suggesting I should upgrade to the pay version. Recently I opted to go
the free Mcaffe AV software available from my service provider. I get
more offers to upgrade from them than I did from Avast.
