AVAST ANTI VIRUS DOWNLOAD
Here are some key features of Avast Home Edition:
Anti spyware built in:
· Spyware is software installed on a computer that is designed to collect information about the computer user, often without their knowledge or consent. This can result in so called identity theft, or theft of valuable information or proprietary business data. Spyware is often developed by organized crime rings rather than lone individuals and may be installed by a virus.
· Certified by West Coast Lab's Checkmark process, avast has full anti spyware capabilities built in, to make your protection even more complete.
Anti rootkit built in:
· Rootkits are programs that install on your computer while keeping themselves and their activities hidden to remain invisible to the use. They represent a significant security risk on both home computers and company networks and are notoriously difficult to find and remove. Rootkits themselves are normally installed by a virus or other type of malware infection and it is therefore highly recommended that computer users have up to date antivirus/anti-spyware software installed and running on their computer. One such system is avast! antivirus.
Automatic updates:
· Automatic updates are another need in virus protection. Both the virus database and the program itself can be updated automatically. The updates are incremental, with only new or missing data downloaded: thus reducing the transfer heavily. The typical size of a virus database update are tens of KB; program updates are typically in the hundreds of KB range.
· If your Internet connection is persistent, the updates are performed completely automatically at fixed time intervals. If you connect to the Internet only occasionally, avast! watches your connection and tries to perform the update when you are online.
· Having an up to date virus database and antivirus program is the most certain way to protect your computer.
Limitations:
· 60 days trial evaluation
