Avast Free Antivirus

Avast Free Antivirus offers an antivirus and anti-malware protection, along with features you're most likely to need, but would rather not think about - like one-click system checks, and unwanted toolbar removal. The free home network scanner now detects 12 more types of router vulnerabilities, and a new password manager feature means your antivirus can now save, and encrypt, all your passwords. This edition is FREE OF CHARGE for non-commercial & home use.

Changelog:

  • Improved user interface - simplified navigation, new brand colors, notification center
  • Behavior Shield - better protects you against ransomware by monitoring running programs for suspicious behavior
  • Game mode - helps reduce distractions and lag times by automatically prioritizing your game’s performance and suspending all unnecessary background notifications and processes while you play
  • Free version no longer requires email registration
  • Performance improvements - faster webpage loading and app launching thanks to optimized hashing algorithms
  • Wi-Fi Inspector - previously called Home Network Security, this feature now detects even more problems and vulnerabilities on both home and public networks
  • Passwords - faster UI and improved browser integration
  • Real Site - our new name for SecureDNS, which prevents DNS hijacking to help you avoid visiting fake websites
  • SafeZone browser - common settings for all modes, faster startup of bank mode, currency converter
