avast! Free Antivirus is a popular free antivirus for Windows that has just
been updated to version 6. Besides efficient protection against viruses and
spyware, avast! Free Antivirus features *eight real-time shields* that keep
your system safe from online threats in various areas: web browsing, email,
instant messaging, P2P and more – plus the two new Script and Behavior
Shields. The eight shields in avast! Free Antivirus! can be enabled or
disabled individually, and have their own settings. Two new interesting tools
in avast! Free Antivirus 6 are the *Web reputation* plug-in, which informs
you about the reliability of the website you're currently visiting, and the
*AutoSandbox*, which enables you to test suspicious programs without any risk
to your computer. Finally, avast! Free Antivirus 6 now includes a desktop
gadget from which you can open the program's main window, perform a system
scan or force a database update. The interface in avast! Free Antivirus 6
hasn't changed much from previous versions. The design is basically the
same, only bigger – something that may not be comfortable for some users.
Then again, the most important feature in a security tool is not looks, but
being able to protect your system in an effective, non-intrusive way – jus
like avast! Free Antivirus does. *avast! Free Antivirus 6 is an excellent new
version of an already outstanding antivirus tool. It includes powerful
security features that protect your computer without compromising performance
or stability.*Download *avast! Free Antivirus 6.0.1289* in Softonic
