Advantages: Top protection from viruses, free, solid, fully featured

Disadvantages: Interface could be better

For years I relied on AVG 7.5 for my anti-virus and was very pleased with it but after the release of version 8 which was slow, buggy and did very little to protect my PC I needed to look round for better free anti-virus software and after reading many good reviews I decided to try Avast.

I was surprised at how fully featured Avast was with anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-rootkit, email scanner, P2P shield, IM shield and the ability to run a boot scan its as good as any paid for anti-virus, it installed on my XP home SP3 PC with no problems at all, it uses very little memory and performed well in various tests I performed, Avast will also run on Windows 2000 and Vista.

Avast updates at least once a day, I have been using Avast for a few months now and have not had a single problem with it.

If you are looking for completely free anti-virus software then Avast will not disappoint, Avast works for 60 days from installation after which you will need to register to get your free product key which is valid for a year after which you get another free key, so it always 100% free.

Try Avast and enjoy virus free computing.

System Requirements for a computer running Windows 2000/XP:
64MB RAM (128MB recommended)
100MB of free hard disk space

Summary: Top notch anti-virus software thats completely free!
