avast! Free Antivirus - yes, it's that good
New Zealand's state MetService website was hijacked by malware (apparently a fake antivirus) during a particularly high time for traffic, according to a stuff.co.nz news article. The article has prompted more than 100 comments in the first day, mostly from understandably upset site visitors who may have picked up the malware on their computers.
Here, however, I just want to show you one comment, as it's nice to see this sort of feedback in the real world. It's no secret that we typically offer our free version in tests against our competitors' paid-for versions, but even the results from independent testing facilities don't feel as rewarding as feedback like this from our user community:
Fortunately for those MetService users who were not using avast!, they can install it now and run the avast! boot-time scan -- and that should do the trick. ;)
