Avast! Free Antivirus Software Review

I've been using Avast! Antivirus Free Edition for quite some time and so far, I'm satisfied with it. Previously I used AVG. But there was one time when my computer was infected with a virus and AVG cannot detect it, but Avast! Antivirus Free Edition can detect and remove it.

Even though you can update the AVG virus database almost everyday, but still, it cannot detect the virus that was infecting my computer. However, Avast! Antivirus Free Edition lack the scheduled scan feature which AVG has. You have to do manual scanning to scan your computer and for some people, they don't like it.


Before using Avast! Antivirus, you have to register your copy at Avast! website and they will email you a serial key that you need to key in before using the Avast! Antivirus.

Other than that, Avast! Antivirus has six types of shield such as web shield, p2p shield, network shield and much more. You can check it out once you installed it.

So, if you want to know which one is best for you, I suggest you to try both first. But please remember that you cannot have two antiviruses installed at the same time in your PC.
