    "Great Antivirus!!!!!"

    April 19, 2011  |   By missconception1

    Version: Avast Free Antivirus 6.0

    Pros

    Excellent Protection and Automatic Virus Database Updates!!!

    Cons

    there are none

    Summary

    free and easy, just dont forget to set this download page as ur homepage, so when you uninstall your other avast or other antivirus you'll have this new antivirus ready pulled up to install after the restart. As this is the case any time you download antivirus. even if it is the same company the other has to be uninstalled first in the control panel, and if you dont have the new one ready pulled up (aka homepage) then you could get a virus from point a to point b. Plus you can always reset your homepage to where u had it b4. just a trick i use to b extra careful! Bottom line---this is the only antivirus i havent gotten a virus with. Plus at FREE for a year you cant go wrong! oh dont forget to register, and dont use the same email as b4 or it wont b free very long if at all.
