What is your opinion of AVAST free anti-virus? [View all]

Being poor, I've relied upon Windows Defender forever.
Then today I saw a link to a PC Magazine article on the best free anti-virus downloads.

#1, in their article, was Avast, which I downloaded.
Then I had to stop them from installing Google Chrome, and an Avast browser.
I use Firefox, although it keeps hanging ("Firefox has stopped working&quot .
I tried Chrome recently but (as I have some slight dementia, memory problems) I didn't feel comfortable with it.

Now I've just got (I think) their anti-virus installed.

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks
