Publisher's description of Avast Home Edition
Avast Home Edition is a complete ICSA & Checkmark certified
antivirus, Checkmark certified anti-spyware & anti-rootkit package.
Avast includes the following components: On demand scanner with
skinnable simple interface, just select what do you want to scan in
which way and press the Play button; On access scanner, special
providers to protect the most of available e-mail clients; Instant
messaging--ICQ, Miranda; Network traffic--intrusion detection,
lightweight firewall; P2P protection for Kazaa, BitTorrent; Web
shield--monitors and filter all HTTP traffic; NNTP scanner--scans all
Usenet Newsgroup traffic and all operations with files on PC; Boot time
scanner--scans disks in the same way and in the same time as Windows
CHKDSK does.
Version 4.8.1201.80611 contains improvements in spyware and rootkit detection.
This impressive software provides the same steadfast protection of well-known antivirus programs, yet it's surprisingly free.
Avast Home Edition guards your PC and the network with multiple
shields that scan executables and files. You can select parameters for
scanning, and even choose wildcards to exclude specific file types. You
can adjust the sensitivity level for the program's detectors when it
comes to scanning downloaded files, instant messages, e-mails, and a
host of P2Ps. Its efficient interface opens up window after window to
tweak its settings to your liking, for novice to advanced level
protection.
Though it took quite some time to run, we're impressed with this
application's boot-time antivirus scan. Fortunately, if you're in a
pinch you can bypass it. If malicious contents are detected, Avast
comes to the rescue with handy virus cleanup tools. Some decent PC
controls are even handed out here. You can block certain URLs and file
operations, such as writing to files or even renaming, deleting or
formatting them.
With immediate real-time protection, clockwork updates, and much more, this free software is highly regarded in our book.
