Excellent AV program, one of the best out there, the only difference is the others of this quality aren't free.

RTFM cometbaby, you have to register it but it is still free.....oh and so you don't have a cow later, you have to re register it every year. This by far one of the top 3 AV programs out there, free or otherwise.

Best free AV out there.
@Comet Bay it is free they just want you to register it. The registration for it is free though.

Best AV solution I have used. I have been running Avast for over two years, and have installed it on four friends/family PCs. All have used the free version, and have not had any trouble with the free version.
I cannot comment on how good Avast is at removing malware infections because I run Avast's real-time scanner, so it catches and quarantines the malware before it has a chance to install itself.
I can say, however, that Avast is excellent at the real-time detection of malware.

Note: this build has an issue with the password system. Avast has released a newer build now - 4.7.938.
Still the best free A/V out there.

@CometBaby : You have to register for a FREE account and enter the serial number they email you in order to have it FREE FOREVER.
I repair lots of computers for family and friends and others, and i always install Avast, simply the best there is currently !

I honestly didn't have AVAST long enough to critique it because they apparently have no intention of actually providing a FREE account.
The first time I tried to do a full system scan they changed my free account over to the trial period of a Pro account, complete with nags.
When this happened I deleted it and went back to AVG.

The best desktop Anti-Virus Solution for Home user's in Freeware section.This Software when installed first time shall ask u to do a Boot-Time scan no Anti-Virus ask's u for this type of scan.It has an easy Interface.It has the best resident monitor program.It check the pop3 mail,the current process u open,games,p2p etc.Its update R relased Day-Day.The update time is all so small Not like other software which take hour's to update or give a failure message.It also has a good way of notificating user's that u r being attacked by a virus,adware,spyware.And always ask for steps to be done.It has also creates a database for back-up of files which can be recovered.
If u have a lower config PC it can cause a load on ur PC.But for the best u have to adjust a little.
My recommendation every desktop user for Home PC's should use this Anti-Virus solution.
