Best Free Antivirus – Avast Home Edition
There are a number of free antivirus software downloads now available online, but not all are equal and so you do need to do some careful research to ensure that you are getting the best protection for your computer. Avast! have been around for years now and have developed a very good reputation for their free ICSA certified antivirus software release called ‘Home Edition’.
This software is regularly updated and provides a good basic level layer of protection for your home computer against malware programs that can be transmitted through your Internet connection, emails or infected devices and applications.
Features
Avast! Home Edition has a number of important features that improves its overall usability and security and these include:
* User Friendly Interface – the control panel is straightforward and easy to use, and you can quickly select which areas of the computer you want to scan, and set up automatic anti virus scans to run regularly in the background.
* On Access Scanner – this automatic scan will read all files being opened and read, and has a ‘behaviour blocker’ that can monitor and target suspicious activities that might indicate the presence of a virus.
* Email Scanner – it is very important to scan emails as this can be a key way in which malware infects your system and the Avast! email scanner is compatible with most mail clients and scans both incoming and outgoing mail to protect you from infections.
* Network Shield – not all free anti-virus software has a Firewall component, but this is an essential part of protecting your system from malicious traffic, and the Avast! Home Edition has a mid level Firewall called ‘Network Shield’ which can help to protect you from malicious content.
* Virus Chest – this feature will safely isolate any potentially dangerous malware from the rest of your system.
* Multilingual – Avast! Home Edition is available in multiple languages including English, French, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Russian and many more.
