Then I did a boot scan with Avast; it picked up 9 trojans and a rogue av. Seems to me that's such a big improvement over the old Avast it deserves a heck of a lot of credit. If you can get your installation problems worked out I think you'll like it.
I agree that it's really an impressive product. Eliminates all the old criticisms (like the not so hot GUI) and IMO, sets the bar for others to follow.
