Avast Home Edition 4.7

 

I have tried almost all known anti-virus programs (English ones off course). This is one of those AV that I like to talk about.

Avast Home Edition 4.7 presently in my eyes seem to be doing a lot better than AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition in terms of usability and network performance. I have been using AVG for sometime and before that NOD32 2.7 Professional. But now I am sticking with Avast for a while because of its nice skin-able interface, very good performance, and its got a ICSA Labs Certification.

Since its running as free (only have to register) it can be easy for them to catch many viruses in the wild. At Download.com they have registered more than 12.7 million downloads in 39 days !!!. Impressive but it nothing compared to AVG which had registered more than 42.8 million downloads in just 5 days !!!. Wow.

What are AVAST's Good FREE features?

1. It has a simple and skin-able user interface.
2. Auto Incremental Updating
3. Very Good Performance even on a low-end PC
4. Boot-time scan
5. Able to repair infected files (only if Virus Recovery Database is complete)
6. And its a freeware

What is missing from Avast? Well of course some professional stuff such as:

1. Enhanced User Interface
2. Command-line scanner
3. Defining your own anti-virus tasks
4. PUSH updates (Whatever that is)
5. Virus notifications (task-based)

O.k the stuff that is missing really doesn't mean anything to me so I don't need to worry. I really love this anti-virus for its really good AV definition too. So go ahead try it. I like it so you will too.
