Avast Technologies, one of the biggest names in the security industry, has a properly good antivirus solution to offer to all the Windows users out there who can’t or don’t want to spend any money on a security solution. Get Avast Free Antivirus and it will block viruses as well as spyware. And, should you need help with something, thanks to Avast Free Antivirus you can get assistance from a geek friend.

A setup wizard will help you install Avast Free Antivirus on your Windows-powered machine. Said wizard will recommend that you also install Google Driver and will invite you to pick between an Express Install (install the application with default settings) and a Custom Install. Once the installation process completes, Avast Free Antivirus will launch and a system scan will be initiated.

After installing Avast Free Antivirus you will be informed that you have a 30-day trial period to play around with the application; after that you will have to register. Register the antivirus application (takes very, very little time to do so) and you will be invited to test Avast Internet Security for a period of 20 days.

The application’s interface features several tabs in the upper left hand corner. The Home tab is the main one – it tells you if everything is up-to-date and if all shields are active, allows you to launch an on-demand scan, access the Software Updater, visit the Market, and more. You will find the interface to be intuitive and very easy to use.

From a security point of view, Avast Free Antivirus has the following to offer: real-time protection against viruses and spyware, perform on-demand scans or schedule them to take place automatically, there are several types of scans to choose from, tells you if any of the applications installed on your machine need to be updated, remove unwanted browser toolbars, block access to specific websites, remotely control a PC with AccessAnywhere, get additional security tools from the Market, recommend Avast Free Antivirus and you earn credits that you can use to get a free Avast Internet Security license.

Speaking about Avast Internet Security, it must be mentioned that the application comes with several features that Avast Free Antivirus does not have. The security solution secures online shopping and banking, runs risky applications in a secure environment, blocks hacker attacks, secures your personal data, block spam, and protects against phishing scams.

Go get essential antivirus for your PC! Go get Avast Free Antivirus!

Pros

The setup wizard allows you to pick between a Custom and an Express Install. The interface is intuitive, very easy to use. Avast Free Antivirus protects against viruses and spyware. You can get help from a geek friend. The application is free.
