its telling me to disable SSL/TLS in Thunderbird and the Avast Mail Scanner will take care of security,,

good?
bad?

no fan of avast

most people only need the likes of MSE

and it is free.

or buy malwarebytes and run clamwin weekly

Interesting that my mate that put me onto Avast years ago now runs...

MSE instead now :D (and malwarebytes)

the playing field constantly moves

what is good in one version can be crap in the next

imho best pay one at the moment is kaspersky 2012

but many say bitdefender is, but i have seen too many conflicts with it..

for the home user malwarebytes pro and clamwin is hard to beat at the moment as well

but malwarebytes can be problematic on some boxes so try the free trial first :p

Been running Avast for about 3 years and never had a problem with it.
