as anyone tried avast Antivirus?
Does it work to detect tracking cookies?
I have had AVG 8.0 for the last year but don't have the money to renew the license. I found the link to avast and I'm trying it out now. I just wondered if anyone else has.

You can still use AVG 8 for free

Well,
Many antivirus programs tend to neglect tracking cookies, they don't cause much destruction.
You should try Avira antivirus free instead of Avast , its really good
