World's no.1 antivirus to protect pc from viruses.
The free edition of Avast Antivirus comes with a full set of monitoring tools to track the protection state of your PC in real time. Expanding beyond the on-demand scanning tools like most antivirus software, Avast also comes with a browser add-on that warns of untrustworthy sites and blocks trackers that record your online activity.
Design: Avast's new layout is a unique and clean take on managing security. Rather than copying a flat Metro look like so many others, Avast organizes its environment and prioritizes it in a sensible manner. Flat icons and subtle menu animations look great, secondary pop-out menus don't feel cluttered, and the toggle icon also helps create a cleaner experience.
Security: An improved firewall, noninvasive scanning, and a complementary, crowdsourced, whitelisting approach via Community IQ keeps this security suite on alert for untrustworthy sites and phishing scams. A noninvasive browser add-on protects your Web usage with built-in do not track integration and selective blockers for analytical and social trackers.
Utility: Avast represents itself as more of a security manager than just a conventional scanner. This version includes a command center-like dashboard for tracking security statistics, pop-up notifiers for system status and security news, a multidevice manager, and a streamlined upgrade pipeline via in-app store.
Avast makes a good impression from the word go, with a clean, pane-based interface that neatly exposes all available features. Naturally, these include real-time and on-demand malware scanning, plus a web-protection module that runs as a local proxy (so it should work with whichever browser you use).
The settings interface lets you change how and when pop-up notifications appear, set up and schedule scans, enter and exit the silent "gaming mode", and even configure email alerts, which will notify you from afar if anything untoward is discovered.
There's a decent selection of secondary features, too. The Browser Cleanup module removes nuisance browser add-ons and fixes configuration tweaks installed by spyware. The Software Updater tool keeps components such as Adobe Air, Flash and Java up to date, closing off vulnerabilities in the process. There's also a rescue-media builder that can create a bootable USB flash drive or CD in two clicks.
