Avast! Home Edition 4.7.1001 - Full Featured Antivirus Package

Avast! Home Edition 4.7.1001 (Windows, Freeware, 14.2MB) [download via Filehippo] is a full-featured antivirus package designed exclusively for home users, non-commercial users. Home Edition is free of charge, since in our opinion, it is possible to avoid global virus spreading by efficient prevention; however, many user are not able or do not want to pay for antivirus software.

Changes:

  • Professional Edition: fixed installation of the ScriptBlocker module which could have previously caused various problems (e.g. in Internet Explorer)
  • program installation now completes successfully even if Spyware Doctor is installed (the "OnGuard" module of Spyware Doctor contains a bug that was previously preventing the avast installation from working correctly)
  • program installation now better handles the situation when repairing previous (corrupted) installs
  • mail scanner: fix for marking of new emails as "read" (the problem was taking place in Thunderbird 2.0 in conjunction with some IMAP servers)
  • fix for scanning of areas with East Asian names (Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista)
  • added Armadillo unpacker
