Avast has also caught a couple nasties that I think Defender was missing. One was from a .js for a link I didn't even visit while on a trusted site. So far I like the Avast interface. Pleasant without being intrusive.

I'm curious why you guys went with Avast (over AVG) -- I haven't used them in a while, but do like Comodo and Avira, so often bounce between them.

I've installed avast out of curioisty, and nothing has changed fan wise, and memory usage seems pretty much identical.

One thing I've noticed with Avast is I'm getting some buffering issues using the Netflix app I wasn't getting with Defender. No idea if this is merely a coincidence.

did you let it run its IE/chrome service? first thing i did was disable the real time internet protection.
