avast! Home 4.8.1201 - Free Antivirus for Home Use

avast! Home 4.8.1201 (Windows, Freeware, 17.6MB) [download via FileForum] is an antivirus set that is able to detect the presence of viruses in computers. It has a powerful antivirus kernel that has a boot-time scan, improved resident protection, heuristic analysis for email, and a script blocker.

Requires free registration, but other than that, completely free for personal use.

Changes:

  • Solved incompatibility with System Safety Monitor
  • Improved compatibility of the self defense module with XP SP3 (and its installation)
  • Minor enhancements in the Web Shield (detection of streaming content)
  • Minor fixes in the updater

This is the antivirus I actually use for my Windows PC. I usually install AVG Antivirus for my clients who aren't thrilled with registering with avast! once every year.
