Overview
Avast! Free Antivirus 8.0 contains improvements to the Behavior Shield and Remote Assistance features, the hybrid cloud technologies also improved, and the user interface has redesigned and simplified.

Avast! Free Antivirus 8.0 brings the new Software Updater to help you keep all your software up to date to prevent malware attacks which specifically target known vulnerabilities. There’s also an optional Browser Cleanup tool for removing unwanted toolbars and plug-ins.

Based on the award-winning avast! antivirus engine, Avast! Free Antivirus incorporates anti-spyware technology, certified by West Coast Lab’s Checkmark process, as well as anti-rootkit and strong self-protection capabilities, but remains one of the fastest and least resource-intensive antivirus solutions available with top-notch detection ability.

Once installed, avast! runs silently in the background to protect your computer against all forms of known malware. If everything is ok, you won’t even notice that avast! is running - just install and forget.
