Version: Avast Free Antivirus 5.0.545
Pros: It has never let me down! It has never missed a virus. It's pretty much a flawless application. It's faster than any of those other scanners, and watches over every aspect of your computer. It does everything on the fly.
Cons: It's a little heavy on the resources, but nowhere near as bad as Norton or McAfee.
Summary: Get this! The free version is better than most of the PAY scanners out there. You simply cannot beat this! read more
