Review and how it works
Avast! Free Antivirus is a no-cost solution for maintaining the security of your computer.
It will not bother you with unwanted, annoying advertising that comes sometimes with free products.
It is a complete instrument able to cover multiple aspects related to PC security. Its main target is to analyze and to protect the following elements: e-mail, internet traffic, script, Instant Messaging systems, behavior, peer-to peer and network activity. The p2p module allows you to select the applications for which downloaded files should be checked.
The modern interface is comprehensive and captivating, allowing to see the status of scanning tasks and of each shield. You can set this antivirus to perform scheduled scans. Every time after finishing the anti malware test the program will make a list with the detected items and it will move the infected files to the quarantine area.
In comparison with the previous versions, this one comes with aesthetic changes and with new options and modules that makes it a stronger antivirus program.
