@ca jakate
You can grab avast Home edition program for FREE directly from the official website.

For auto updates, in avast! setting you can set ‘automatic update’, and everytime you’re online it will be updated automatically.

For manual updates, on desktop icon, select ‘Updating’ and choose ‘iAVS update’ or “program update”

For avast Home license key, it’s free, only provide your email to get the key from the official avast! Home, it will be sent to you by avast!.

Avast is simply superb. I do a research on most commonly available anti spyware and anti virus…you need to use this to believe it everything for free….this is the best part and does not eat system resources. This is a must for all users who want to protect their system efficiently.

I appreciate the way the defense system of Avast works. I must agree with you that ‘Defense is Attack’

Keep believing in yourself you guys at Avast…

Dear,

The Win32:Patched-FF reported by John might not be trojan. My machine is equipped with avg7.5 (not the avg8 though). I scanned mine yesterday and found nothing suspicious on my machine.

Not enough, I also scanned my notebook with NOD32 (online scan) and the result is “clean”.

Today, I re-scanned with bitdefender (online scan) and found that my sens.dll is infected with Trojan.Patched.BD. It said disinfection failed, deleted failed.

Holyshit.

I got nervous.

But not mad enough to manually delete it.

I went to jotti online malware scan at http://virusscan.jotti.org
and send the sens.dll to be scanned with 20 engines.

And the results is
only 4 engines found sens.dll is infected (including avast, as Win32:Patched-FF)

POSSIBLY INFECTED/MALWARE (Note: this file was only classified as malware by scanners known to generate more false positives than the average scanner. Do not consider these results definately accurate. Also, because of this, results of this scan will not be recorded in the database.)

Si I leave that file untouch

Why do people complain about avast?! I mean seriously the only reason why you GOT TO COMPLAIN about it is that IF IT WERE A PAID VERSION, you would have thought “Hey, I can’t believe I spent $29.99 at Wal-Mart.”When just a simple download like avast! could have HAD A PROBLEM, like another paid version brand, and then you can say hey it was free no worries.”

@peace
it runs well on my pc, even ‘dual-mode’ with avg you may try avg instead of avast!
