![]() So that means that I have a single processor that many anti-virus programs just eat up cpu cycles and pushes it to 100% usage easily. I have a 2.66ghz Intel Celeron Pentium 4. The pros is that it does have a low footprint even when scanning. This means avast wont use your hard drive more than it needs thus making your computer usage alot faster compared to situation when antivirus needs to scan your hard drive when you use it (unless you have good ssd).I have installed avast to more than 6 computers and only one had troubles, but those were hardware related problems (adaptec raid card didnt work well with motherboard).I give 4 because they didn´t give me any real support, even if your software is freeware you should at least be intrested what is wrong with it. When i first started to use avast, norton or f-secure didnt have this feature. So f-secure was just taking my computers juice for nothing.One of my favorite features is avast screensaver which scans your hd:s when computer is on screensaver. Also avast found few trojans that f-secure didn´t found. F-secure was just terrible (deleted outlooks inbox when it had one virus). Interface can be changed btw.In short Avast! is one of the best antivirus i have used. A 10-year old Pentium 3 processor will do, with 128 MB RAM and 2 GB of hard-drive space.This review is for 4.8 stable versionEvery antivirus has it´s cons and pro´s, but when you get antivirus for free you can´t really complain things like user interface if it can do what you want.

The technology will also eventually power the Sandbox and SafeZone components (although it does not now). This feature is now powering the Avast DeepScreen, resulting in better detection. Each process is executed in its own instance of VM, which means totally isolated from your other applications. ![]() ![]() A hardware based virtualization solution capable of running each Windows process in standalone safe virtualized environment (VM) and fully integrated to your desktop. Other minion functions remain as paid-for features. These tasks are performed by our Zilch and Torque minions. GrimeFighter will offer free cleaning of junk files and tuning of system settings. This covers a lot of stability and performance changes in all components (but the main focus was traditionally on the network and engine components). Help is completely online and is more up to date. Easy contact for paid users to submit a ticket with all info included automatically. One scan, different results and recommendations. Integrated all on demand scans into one (Antivirus, Software updates, Home Network, GrimeFighter). We are introducing a new provider which guards against unprotected DNS/DNS hijack on a router/client (including unsecured networks, public ones, etc.). SecureDNS (this feature is active in the paid versions only). ![]() This is quite a new approach as we are trying to discover potential problems not isolated on the particular device only, but in the entire network of devices you use or connect to the Internet from. Scan your home network for vulnerabilities (wifi status, connected devices, router settings, factory passwords, etc.). You can tune/disable this feature in the settings section. ![]() This feature will protect you against viruses coming through HTTPs traffic as well as adding compatibility for SPDY+HTTPS/ HTTP 2.0 traffic. We are using our own generated certificates that are added into the Root Certificate store in Windows and also into major browsers.
