Overview
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.

Avast! Free Antivirus is based on several real-time shields which continuously monitor your email and internet connections and check the files on your computer whenever they are opened or closed. 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.

Avast! Antivirus 2015 includes a number of new features and improvements. More details can be found here.
