avast! Free Antivirus

avast! Free Antivirus is a program that can protect your computer from virus and other threats, for free.

When you install the program, it begins by downloading the latest virus definitions from the author´s website.

Before doing this, you must register the program, to be able to access the definitions and program updates. You can choose then to register the free version, or upgrade to the paid option. After registering the program, you will receive a one year license. During this period, you will have total access to the virus updates.

You can activate a feature called Silent/Gaming mode, that will not show any message on the screen when you are viewing your monitor in Full Screen mode. avast! Free Antivirus offers several scanning methods, that will search for threats in your system. The system can be protected by using several shields, like the File System, Mail or Web ones. The program allows to use additional programs, like AutoSandbox (that allows you to run suspicious programs into a protected environment), WebRep (a browser plug-in that can show you reputation ratings for the websites you visit), and SiteBlocking, that allows you to block certain URLs.

AVG AntiVirus FREE 2015

AVG AntiVirus FREE 2015 is a comprehensive free software solution to keep your computer clean and protected at all times. When required, it may perform a complete scan of your system's folders, detecting all kind of unwanted files and threats, including spyware, adware, and, of course, viruses.

Its protecting Resident Shield will work in the background, keeping an eye on everything that attempts to install itself without your consent.

So what makes this 9.0 version worth upgrading? First, a better and faster scanning engine, with different levels of speed and accuracy to better fit your preferences. It claims to be up to 50% faster than previous versions, and this means that it will perform its task consuming 50% less resources. Another interesting improvement is its new anti-phishing detection techniques, allowing the program to detect potential phishing attacks coming from suspicious web sites faster and more accurately. This combines nicely with the new LinkScanner®, which checks every link of every page you intend to visit. Last but not least, this new version comes with anti-rootkit protection, thus being able to detect hidden threats no matter how well they try to hide.

This powerful anti-virus tool not only protects your computer from files already sitting in your drives or from those you download from the web, but also from threats coming through your mail or the Internet. The Resident Shield will warn you well in advance about those sites you want to connect to and which the program may find suspicious or clearly unsafe. With the above-mentioned LinkScanner® utility, you will know when a file may be harmful to your system well before you download it. The program also checks both your incoming and your outgoing e-mail messages.

The program allows you to customize the way it looks and works down to the finest detail. Not only the appearance and the program’s sounds can be changed, but also (and certainly more important) what and how will be scanned, how to act when a virus or another threat is found, what filters will the e-mail scanner used, and so on.

Though constantly working and alert (scanning every file you open and work with), AVG AntiVirus FREE 2015 does not seem to affect your PC performance in a substantial way. While scanning your whole computer though, try to avoid performing other resource-consuming tasks simultaneously.

From this free version, you can easily upgrade to paid versions that will offer you even higher levels of security. Besides, its periodic updates will keep the virus database always current, and your system always protected against the newest threats.

Avira Free Antivirus

Keeping the computers safe from viruses should be a priority for every computer user. All kinds of nasty viruses and malware can infect your computer and compromise the sensitive information that you store on your hard disk.

Happily, there are applications like Avira Free Antivirus that offer an efficient PC security solution and keep viruses away.

Avira Free Antivirus is one of the most popular anti-virus applications in the entire world. This dependable tool will keep you safe from viruses, adware, spyware, Trojans, rootkits, dialers and many other types of malware that may infect your computer. There are several things that I like about Avira Free Antivirus. Firstly, it offers a decent scanning speed, so you won’t have to wait around forever in order to find out if your computer is infected or not. Another plus is that it takes up fewer resources than most of the other anti-virus tools, thus allowing your other running applications to work smoothly. Furthermore, the program automatically scans your computer for incompatible software before actually installing itself, so it won’t cause any crashes.

With Avira Free Antivirus you will be able to schedule scans to be performed even when you’re away from the computer.

What I completely dislike about Avira Free Antivirus is the irritating window which constantly pops-up to let you know about other Avira products. This Avira Notifier will pop up in front of other windows, so it will quickly become a nuisance.

In conclusion, Avira Free Antivirus is a very handy protection tool, especially when you consider the fact that you don’t have to pay in order to use it. This program is effective and reliable so it will surely turn out to be a viable security solution.
