Its not bad at all compared to other free AV software, but false positives happen quite frequently. I've used it for 3 years until 2013 and I stopped using after it had a false positive with PSO2, which was the second time it did btw. I already had had problems with its false positives in 2 other MMOs, a FPS, an indie game and a video editing software from what I can remember.

It's not a deal-breaker by itself and I'm no anti-Avast preacher, but the amount of false positives can be annoying.
