Product: Avast Antivirus




Review: It is good but only for the home user
Review By: Vivek Ram Mhatre    Review Date: 15 Feb 2009   

The installation is straightforward and despite being free it still contains many features present in other similar paid software. Apart from the standard scanning features it also includes dedicated modules for Email scanning in Outlook / Exchange, and the Bat Email clients, inbuilt protection for IM clients, Internet mail and P2P clients as well as a network shield that blocks certain attacks.

The good:
1) Free: Yes it is free of cost. Download it from this site and then register it to get a one year subscription which can be renewed every year.

2) Good for the home user: It provides a decent level of protection for the home user. It detected all the viruses on my computer.

3) Fast, easy to use and low on system resources.

The Bad:
1) No Script blocking (AVAILABLE IN AVAST ANTIVIRUS PROFESSIONAL EDITION)

2) No rootkit protection (AVAILABLE IN AVAST ANTIVIRUS PROFESSIONAL EDITION).

Overall it is an anti - virus software that does what it does best and offers protection that is almost at par if not greater than other similar software. What more would you want from something that is free.

This is not a security suite like Norton (TM) / Mcafee (TM) Security Suites. So it does not include a firewall, application control etc. This software is good for the home user who does not want to spend money on paid software.

For corporate users it is best to stay away from this one. This is one of the few truly free anti - virus softwares available in the market today.

Review: Avast Antivirus
Review By: Aira    Review Date: 27 Feb 2009   

I think Avast Anti virus is the best anti virus software. It protects from all forms of online viruses in your system. It can be use on Windows Vista, Windows 95, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 98 Operating System. I am using right now Window Vista Operating System and have installed Avasta Anti virus free software. It detects and also remove the spyware from my computer. Yes, one more thing this anti virus not only protects from virus but also rootkits, buffer overflows and with rapid updates which you might be experiencing. You can also block certain URLs and file operations, such as writing to files or even renaming, deleting or formatting them. All I can say this is the best one, performs well but takes little time but do the work neatly and cleanly. At least you will be free from viruses and malicious programs. Someone is there for you to protect your Computer.
