Protect Your Computer With avast! Free Antivirus

In: Free

27 Jan 2010

Saving money is good. Exposing your computer to dangers like viruses and spyware is not. Unfortunately many people depend on outdated protection to keep their computer safe.

Most new computers do have a trial version of some famous-brand antivirus product pre-installed, and it will function normally for a month or two …or maybe even a year. But when the trial period expires, the computer is no longer fully protected, because the antivirus is no longer receiving updates to enable it to catch and eliminate the newest viruses. Many people choose to rely on outdated antivirus software in order to save money.

A much better solution is avast! Free Antivirus 5.0 from ALWIL Software, now in Version 5.0. The popularity of earlier versions of avast! made it the world’s most popular free antivirus program, with over 100 million users. New avast! 5.0 has new features and a new interface, and performs impressively in virus and spyware elimination tests. The new 5.0 edition of avast! is free for non-business home users; the “Pro” version is available for business use and has additional features and customization options.

The new avast! Free Antivirus 5.0 includes…

  • Transparent scanning of all files, programs and email
  • Automatic updates
  • Improved antivirus and anti-spyware engine
  • Scanning on-demand
  • Scheduled scanning
  • Impressive anti-spyware and anti-root-kit protection
  • Online tech support

You can download avast! Free Antivirus 5.0 from http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

I have recommended previous versions of avast! for years, and have had many people tell me that it removed viruses and spyware left behind by other products.
