Today, a friend of mine also couldn't access websites after clicking a link on VKontakte (or rather, her friend did).

I didn't click on any links. An hour ago, everything was fine, but now when I try to access the website, it says there's a virus.

Maybe it’s some kind of advertisement? I also go to the site, and there’s a flash ad about a virus. I don’t go there right now, but it happened before.

Yeah, not the best time for a joke.

I can only offer some comfort by saying that everyone's Avast is acting up. Another acquaintance is writing to me now and saying that she's experiencing the same issue.

What the heck! I scanned only one percent of drive C, and it already found a huge number of viruses! About thirty, or even more...

Now there are about two hundred of them, great...

Stupid Avast...

Everything is fine with me.

So you're lucky, many people have this problem, Avast is garbage.

So, guys, what are you using? Recommend a good antivirus.

AVG .

KASPERSKY
Good guys always know how to get a free version.

Hey guys, what are you using? Recommend a good antivirus.

Dr.Web is quite slow and often lets malware through, but it catches everything possible (during system scans).
Kaspersky works great as a network screen, effectively catches viruses on entry, and operates quickly.
AVZ should always be kept on your computer, regardless of which antivirus you have.
Avast detects poorly, but it's the only one with the feature of searching for viruses before the system loads. In other words, if you catch a blocker or a serious rootkit, only Avast will save you.
NOD is useful for budget and government institutions; it doesn't catch everything, and even if it does, it often can't eliminate it.
Avira... well, it's not bad, I've seen it in action a couple of times.
Norton is good.

I haven't encountered the others, I guess.

I have Avast, and everything works fine; you guys are just unlucky.

KASPERSKY
Good guys always know how to get a free version.

Yeah, exactly.

Avira... well, it's not bad, I've seen it in action a couple of times.

The free Avira used to please me. It was my first antivirus. I plug in a flash drive, and it says there's a worm. Delete. OK. Five minutes later, there's a worm again. Delete. OK. Then again... After a few cycles, I installed Kaspersky, and it found a Trojan that Avira hadn't noticed (presumably, it was responsible for multiplying the worms while Avira was deleting them), removed it, and everything was fine.
P.S. Regarding Kaspersky, I once installed a key that came with a magazine. A month later, it expired, but Kaspersky didn't care. I used it with an expired key for six months until I wanted a new version.

Kaspersky is for suckers. Seriously, it's the most resource-intensive antivirus, and it doesn't even perform better than some other options.

You just don't know how to cook it.
