NO... it is not as good as Avast .... as a matter of fact, it's awful !!
According to AV Comparatives.org's labs, it did not even achieve a passing score.... it "flunked" all tests...
You would be better off sticking with Avast..... better even yet, try Avira's Antivir free. Best detection of any free ones, (and most paid)...
The free adition you have to update manually before scanning, the other
updates automatically...install the free home adition of Avast antivirus, it updates automatically...it blocks downloads that are virus infected and blocks you entering dodgy sites.
