landfish Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 Excellent AV program, one of the best out there, the only difference is the others of this quality aren't free.
 
sophist_dreams Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 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.
 
siryak Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 Best free AV out there.

@Comet Bay it is free they just want you to register it. The registration for it is free though.
 
eaves Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 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.
 
Jordanr05 Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 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.
 
daver18qc Jan 15, 2007 4.7.936 5 out of 5 @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 !
 
CometBaby Jan 15, 2007 4.7.892 3 out of 5 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.
 
kaustubh4evr Jan 7, 2007 4.7.892 5 out of 5 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.
