As I said the other day, currently I'm using Avast Free Antivirus, and I didn't have any problems until today. Where after my younger brother used my PC I realised that I had some strange virus that was opening random webpages with lots of publicity related to electronic stuff and clothes stores, dunno why. Then I decided to search for programs installed and I didn't find anything new, all the same as it was before my brother start using the PC. Then I asked my brother if he did something different from what he uses to do, he told me that he installed a old game that we had here at home and the installation procedure was asking him to shut down the Anti Virus. And for some reason, Windows Defender was activated and Avast Free Antivirus was deactivated, so my PC was infected right after Avast was shuted down and WD started working. So you can tell by this story that Avast Free AV is really one of the best, and you can't absolutely trust Windows Defender, for sure!
