| GUI:   Features: Ease of use: Value: |  | I have just downloaded avast! , and so far it is working great.
I had McAfee, and I was find with that, but it began going "crazy". It just quit working the way it first did. My ISP had supplied it free, so that is why I was using it, but It just was not working right, so I lost confidence in it. |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | | Avast Is A Very Good FREE Program (The Registration Is Free All You Need To Do Is Reg And They Send You The Key Via E-mail To Get It Out Of Trial Mode For Those Of You Who Don't Know) I Have Been Using For About 2-3 Years And Have Had No Problems. My Favorite Aspects Are The Real Time Protection Which Is Awesome Considering It Is Free, And That Once Your Key Is Done Just Get A New One. I'd Highly Recomend To Anyone That Has A Tight Budget Or Doesnt Want To Spend Money For Anti-viral Programs. |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | | This AV is one of the best , with free registration,fast VDB download and a excellent virus protection.i've tried to infect my machine with a self-created worm and trojan,only Kaspersky,BitDefender,Norton and Avast was good enough to find and block them.But only Avast is for free!! |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | Why is this categorized as freeware? It's BS- It's a 60 day trial. Unless I missed something that explains how to get it registered for free?!?? Good thing I have Revo Uninstaller to get rid of it.
ITS NOT FREEWARE |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | Not only the detection rate counts!
According to AV- Comparatives Avast earned a advanced plus on demand detection of virus and malware in February 2008. That is a fine reward.
But I do not think that this is the main rational argument for considering Avast. Some other anti-virus software scores in this regard even somewhat better.
The main arguments for using Avast, apart of being free, is all its special features. What comparatives and Virus Bulletin does not consider are just those features and they are not either supposed to consider them. They consider mainly only two things and those are the detection rates and that the software does not make so called false positives. Those considerations are extremely important but, please, do not consider them as the whole truth but only a very important part of the whole truth.
Also consider those very important features Avast has such as resident protection, P2P shields, web shield, boot time scan, virus chest (which protects in a vault, against malicious attacks, certain files which are very important for the operating system), network shield (a lightweight firewall) and other features.
In other words, no good having a good detection rate if the software does not also have a good capability of detecting malware and not just in the laboratory, but also in the real practical world.
Alwil is the company which makes Avast and Alwil is indeed a very serious company. It does not nag you with all sorts of ads asking you to buy, buy and buy. This makes a difference and actually tells you something. It tells you that they are serious. They make a software which is considered to protect you in the real world. They have seriously considered all those features when they made Avast.
Apart of all this it is, as mentioned, a free software which also protects you from spyware and rootkits. It has a lot of skins to choose from which makes it in fact really special and attractive. Those properties are also very important.

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | | I used AVG free for 2 years before switching to Avast free home edition and was impressed at first by the way it seemed to find viruses that AVG missed.However, the real time scan was nowhere near as efficient as AVG was and the GUI was awful.The problem was the length of scan time which ran about an hour to an hour and a half.I'm sorry but that's ridiculous for anyone to put up with.I finally switched back to AVG because Avast was just too much scan time for me. |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | Avast! is an excellent antivirus program. I've used it for years without any infections. This has been confirmed by occasional various online free virus scans from Symantec, McAfee, and Windows Live. I would reccommend this product to anyone. Yes, this is a free product and may not offer all the features of other products, but combined with basic antispyware software such as Windows Defender, it protects your computer. I personally have questionable browsing habits and have never had an infection.
MattLee, perhaps this product will not work in your environment. Your time would be better spent finding a product that will work for you than wasting everyones time here. |

| | GUI: Features: Ease of use: Value: | | i didnt think avast could get worse yet it has with the new release
its updating is as slow as ever but now as an added bonus you get kicked offline more. who doesnt want that?
dont play second life with avast unless you want to have to reboot every 10-20 mins. perfect for those who need to play for 20 mins then take a break for 20 or more mins |
