Iv got Avast Antivirus, Home Edition, but so many people have told me
that it mises a lot of viruses, is this true?

Iv also got Ewido antispyware, supernatispyware.

What other free antivirus is good? (apart from avg, which is worse than
avast)

It is not true.

I would like to see the list of viruses that Avast misses if anyone could
actually supply one. I've been using Avast for a couple of years, and also
installing it on ALL of the systems that I build and/or clean and not one
person or customer has been infected with a virus since I've been using it.

When I originally switched to Avast, these forums were filled with posts
criticizing Norton and McAfee as missing lots of viruses, and talking up
AVG, Avast, and Nod32. I had McAfee and started to get worried, even though
I had never been infected with a virus while using McAfee. I finally decided
to try AVG and Avast because I got tired of paying McAfee's yearly fees.
