Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1335 – Free Full Featured Antivirus Package

Avast! 4 Home Edition 4.8.1335 (Windows, Freeware, 29.8MB) [alt DL] is a full-featured antivirus package designed exclusively for home users, non-commercial users.

Changes:

  • improvements in some unpackers (WinExec, Installer, ZIP)
  • improved memory scan, especially under 64-bit operating systems
  • fixed a possible deadlock condition when copying system files from some removable media
  • fixed a possible problem with access rights when deleting infected files on reboot
  • Web Shield: minor stability fixes
  • Internet Mail: smtp.gmail.com and smtp.live.com now ignored on port 25 (as these are SSL only)
  • improved healing of some infected files
  • various fixes and improvements in the scanning engine
  • Web Shield now scans pages compressed with the "deflate" algorithm
  • performance optimization of Standard Shield under Windows Vista
  • improvements in the automatic sample submission system
  • improvements in the URL blocker

Avast! is what I personally use on my main Windows PC. You need to register (for free) for a license.
