This impressive
software provides the same steadfast
protection of well-known antivirus programs, yet
it's surprisingly free.
Avast Home Edition guards your PC and the network
with multiple shields that scan executables and
files. You can select parameters for scanning, and
even choose wildcards to exclude specific file
types. You can adjust the sensitivity level for
the program's detectors when it comes to scanning
downloaded files, instant messages, e-mails, and a
host of P2Ps. Its efficient interface opens up
window after window to tweak its settings to your
liking, for novice to advanced level protection.
Though it took quite some time to run, we're
impressed with this application's boot-time
antivirus scan. Fortunately, if you're in a pinch
you can bypass it. If malicious contents are
detected, Avast comes to the rescue with handy
virus cleanup tools. Some decent PC controls are
even handed out here. You can block certain URLs
and file operations, such as writing to files or
even renaming, deleting or formatting them.
With immediate real-time protection, clockwork
updates, and much more, this free software is
highly regarded in our book.
