You know what does not impress me about Avast...

When Avast was falsely declaring the VBS:Zulo on a Microsoft web page (starting 8/'06) and
even after it was reported (10/2/'06), it took approx. 60 days for Avast to fix that False
Positive declaration.

As for the assertion, "Many of the others only do routine updates weekly unless there is a
serious threat...". That's not true. The Rogues may have infrequent updates but that's
becuase they are not "real". The majority have updates at least once per day (weekdays)
with other like Kaspersy putting updated signatures on their download sites multiple times
per day.
