Avast: Free vs. Pro How Much Difference?

[Route44]

Okay, I was looking at Avast and comparing the Free vs. Pro Both have the new anti-rootkit as well and the following is what the Pro offers in addition over the Free for $40.00:

Enhanced User Interface
Command-line Scanner
Defining your own antivirus tasks
Working with the task results (actions on infected files)
Storing the scan results (history)
PUSH updates
Script Blocker
Virus notifications (task-based)
Task Schedule


* For those with security knowledge is there anything that stands out warrenting the Pro over the Free? In other words, is the Pro version offering abilities that make it a significantly better anti-virus than the Free version? Thanks.

I am interested in what exactly this involves
Defining your own antivirus tasks

I don't have a clue myself. It was in their list. Do you see anything, Blind Dragon, that stands out warrenting the Pro version? I don't mind paying $ for good security, but the Free comes loaded with all the features of the Pro except those I listed.

Not really, I prefer the free version.

If I were going to pay for protection I would look at Kaspersky or NOD32
