    I can see 3 Avast..!! One is pro what is the difference between the two...?

    Here's the difference

    http://www.avast.com/comparison-chart

    And I doubt that in India AVG leads, as i've seen in India people prefer Kaspersky the most... But for free AVG, Avast and then Avira...
    most of them don't know that for free the order of preference should be Avira, Avast and then may be AVG....

    No not that comparison. I am saying that in the chart, there are 3 avasts shown. One is mentioned as Avast Pro and one as Free. So, what is the other one.

    And Yes I know Kaspersky and Norton are the names most people know in India. But many are using AVG as a free one.

    Happy

    Avast free, Avast Pro and Avast Internet Security? But good point why they didn't mention that Internet Security, maybe then it really is Avast v1 or something for Windows 3.1?

    I'm not entirely sure but I'm guessing that avast! Antivirus 5.4% refers to the previous/older version (that time, they didn't include the word "free" in it, right?)...whereas the avast! Free Antivirus 11.45% refers to the current version...

    Malware authors looking at this chart would learn a lesson from it - it's time to target and find ways to bypass Avast
