Version: Avast Home Edition 4.7.892
"By far the best Free AV."
Pros: Avast is a very reputable company who makes their money on the commercial use of their product. It's unheard of in this business in comparison of like software vendors to do this. They aparently make enough to offer home users the same product with a 14 month at a time license key (after registration). The product has several skins to choose from that are easily accessable thru their website with so many their must be one for everybodys liking. The scan times are a little slow but cause no aparent system drag at all. Very through in identifying trojans other expensive products (like "Norton" 2006 and 2007) miss. You can't. miss it when a virus or trojan is found because it tells you with an alarm sound and a verbal warning. Everyone who uses a home computer should give this product a try and be greatfull to this company for a quality free product which offers so much including active protection.
Cons: None!, this is a "5 STAR PRODUCT". Way better than "AVG" or "Bit Defender" free versions!

You said Avast home edition in perfect words just like a true reviewer.I used to have Avg free edition but it missed far too much threats and it didn't protect my computer.Then came Avast, it was easy to setup and use.It detected '7' Trojans and '2' worms that Avg missed.I downloaded some skins because they were really cool.Finally I registered my software with them.I gave you 'YES' vote because I agree with you.
