If you're into freeware anti-virus apps and you're now in the market looking for a powerful app, there's no doubt that Avast! Free Antivirus is one of the best choices for Windows users.

An update released today allows consumers to try out the next stable build of the anti-virus app right now, even though it might not provide the best and the most stable experience right now.

Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2020 R4 RC fixes a lot of issues, improving stability of the IE AOSP plugin, while also addressing occasional uninstall problems.

Of course, it repairs several crashes in various components (such as setup, browser cleanup, and IE plugin) and tries to solve some GUI glitches that were reported in the previous versions.

The app continues to work smoothly on all Windows versions on the market, but the most important thing is that it still offers support for Windows XP, the old OS edition that was retired by Microsoft on April 8. Given the fact that Windows XP users do not benefit from other security improvements, it's critical to see companies such as Avast offering support for this particular OS version for a little bit longer.

Overall, this important update clearly comes in handy to many users, so go ahead and download Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2020 R4 RC right now to see what's new.
