We’ve reached the end of this month’s daily giveaway campaign, but there is one more product we’d like to reward you with: avast! Internet Security.
As usual, the number of licenses is 50 and the rules to get one remain the same: post a smart comment at the bottom of this article for a chance to win one of the free codes. Since this is our last day of our daily giveaway campaign, make your lines special. Be creative, witty, jocose and original in order to make your post stand out. Most avast! users are familiar with the free version of the antivirus, which offers the same protection as far as the engine and the definitions go, but lacks some protection layers. avast! Internet Security ( reviewed here) comes with SafeZone feature, which is a virtualized web browsing environment where you can safely conduct online financial operations. Spam filtering is another feature available in the paid product. Besides these, avast! Internet Security, regularly available for $49.99 (€42), brings to the table reputation-based protection for search engine results, a silent firewall, which relies on heuristic and behavioral analysis to detect threats, as well as application whitelisting for fast scans. Note: You have 24 hours to post your comment from the publish time of this article. Your chances to win one of the 50 free codes are only as good as your comment. So make your remarks as honest and witty as possible. The winners will be picked from the comments section of this article, and will be contacted in 5 days after the giveaway expires. They will have to provide their full name in private (when required) in order to collect their prize. No other information except for your comment and the alias / nickname you provide will appear online. We urge you not to double post and, most importantly, be original because pasting from different sources on the Internet will get you kicked from the giveaway campaign. Winners for this campaign: · mkg_just4u - #225 · IF - #366 · rummoy - #122 · gaquay13191 - #100 · cypherinfo - #216 · geki - #235 · Bill - #128 · iPrism - #153 · rick-f - #140 · karenmarie - #247 | · Jack11 - #296 · Mayank - #286 · leofelix - #246 · ChiraG - #234 · BODULMM -#25 · jelson - #213 · Bob - #364 · Stephen - #313 · Balvir11 - #191 · paulcrousel - #336 | · azmisme - #47 · Blake - #57 · Dragonheart - #225 · chamd - #187 · Amit Kumar Sainwal - #22 · TP - #81 · modgerody -#159 · etta j - #178 · Exodus - 323 · alex - #229 | · Gapp - #233 · Kotulpur - #278 |

| Comment #20 by: Jerry on 31 Oct 2011, 12:48 UTC | reply to this comment | The new avast! Internet Security is definitely an ideal solution not only for people who use online payment, but also for companies small and large ones. Thanks to a very high detection and multiplicity of screens, this is one of the best packages IS.
Since version 5.0 AIS was equipped with a personal firewall, antispam, sandbox and a very useful SafeZone, through which we can do everything online without the risk of infection.
Avast! IS version is very powerful. Its freeware version has a very extensive protection, let alone the IS package. I trusted avast! because it is light, fast and effectively and is able to detect viruses (as opposed to avast 4.8 and older versions) to remove the virus.
Frankly I recommend this to any package does not charge, effective, fast with a very clear interface. |
| Comment #21 by: trungpt on 31 Oct 2011, 12:50 UTC | reply to this comment | For home-users, (avast! free or Microsoft Security Essential) and Comodo Firewall are more than enough. Also, IE9 is excellent at protecting your computer from being infected by malware from the Internet with SmartScreen Technology. |

Inetrnet Security and not too happy with it and base on my son recommendation I had though of switching to AIS.Could this be the opportunity I has been waiting for?Bet your pretty bottom it is. |
| Comment #49 by: Rusa on 31 Oct 2011, 13:18 UTC | reply to this comment | With such a good product, I must at least give it a try to compete, eh?
This is an honest review of almost 1 year user of AIS, which I won from last December quiz.
Avast! Internet Security may not be the best product (although 'best' is considered as very subjective). Yes, there are arguably better ways if you want better protection such as virtualization, HIPS, etc which moves from traditional concept of signature-based security program. Avast! may not always have the best detection rate (but always been in top 5 in almost any independent test). It may not come with lots and lots of features.
But despite the shortcomings I've stated I'm still using it. Why? Because for any average user, it is much more than enough! And contrary to other security software which manage to get high detection rate in exchange for high false-positive rate, Avast! has very low false positive rate. Even with me always installing and uninstalling software, it is very rare for Avast! to encounter false positive. And I will trade slightly lower detection rate to high rate of false positive rate any day.
You can say anything about Avast!, but one thing you can never ever deny is it is truly, truly light. In fact it's one of the lightest suite you can find while providing good protection to its users. The slick look and interface will also appeal to novice users to the advanced user who want simple protection (or use it as one of component the security set-up).
With it being suite, it comes with bells and whistles which are surprisingly good. SafeZone for internet banking, manual sandbox for virtualization, silent firewall that protects inbound and outbound connection. All of these but still managing to be one of the lightest suite in the market.
It is a absolute masterwork, and the saying "Save the best for the last" definitely apply here in Softpedia.
Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway.
Happy 10 years anniversary.
Here hoping for many more decades to come.
Stay awesome. |
| Comment #50 by: No malware! on 31 Oct 2011, 13:19 UTC | reply to this comment | Already used Avast free for many years.
Love to go further with avast Internet Security.
Excellent software for security.
The best with Avast is excellent protection and very low memory usage!
Forgot to mention Avast superb forum. Helpful people! |
| Comment #50.1 by: niko222 on 31 Oct 2011, 13:43 GMT | thanks to all at softpedia for all your hard work over the last 10 years.and the next 10

| Comment #51 by: Sameer on 31 Oct 2011, 13:19 UTC | reply to this comment | I just recently bought Avast Antivirus Professional Edition, lets say 3 months to be precise and would really love to use the Internet Security. Come on doesn't a loyal Softpedia user like me deserve a free license of Avast Internet Security? |
| Comment #55 by: ajemsasa on 31 Oct 2011, 13:28 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast Internet Security benefits from features that are not available in the free antivirus version. This includes more settings, faster program updates, boot-time scanning, game mode, firewall or keylogger protection.
Good software, please, count me in! |
| Comment #56 by: numpayak on 31 Oct 2011, 13:29 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast internet security 6 is packed with new features webrep, safezone, autosandbox, firewall but not quite useful to every user. The overall performance of the Avast Internet security 6 is quite good. There is no system lag at all and the anti-virus, firewall protection is now top notch. It is highly recommended to every users that prefer an easy to use internet security program.
Avast internet security 6 is speed up and impact on system is less. Also have Avast Internet Security 6 for safe internet browsing, ensures that my social networking remain safe and protects my PC from hackers. Thank for giveaways. |
| Comment #57 by: Blake on 31 Oct 2011, 13:38 UTC | reply to this comment | So far, Avast is one of the biggest players in the industry ever since they've started on business. Avast! 4.8 might look like a media player, But under that interface, lies a great program that outdone paid products in the past. With the release of Avast! 5, It's a great improvement over the previous versions since almost everything was revamped. When Avast! made a promise for better security features. I crossed my fingers. Then come Avast! 5.1 that includes the 64-bit Boot Time Scan, Pre-activated Behavior shield and more improvements. I was very satisfied with that version, This year, when Avast! released V. 6, The whole security industry went Boom! Imagine, Features of a paid product turned free! Script shield for the Free version. The Auto-Sandbox is a very huge improvement because free users can now experience Real-Time Virtualization for free. I do hope in the future that Avast! will still give us a great free product. The Great Free Product that saved a lot of users from Malware disasters. Thanks Avast! for helping us! :) |
| Comment #58 by: ms1us3r on 31 Oct 2011, 13:38 UTC | reply to this comment | I use it right now ,my license will expire in december and i will be more than thrilled to win a new one ,many thanks softpedia for all the good stuff you bring to us all and one more time, happy birthday softpedia! |
| Comment #61 by: kgaurav on 31 Oct 2011, 13:49 UTC | reply to this comment | Currently Avast Internet Security is the best AV. I use it from last 8 Months and I am 100% Satisfied. I think Its a good replacement of Kaspersky Internet Security. |
| Comment #62 by: J.B. on 31 Oct 2011, 13:52 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast IS to me... Ouh, you are so kind Softpedia :) |

| Comment #64 by: asdadasdsad on 31 Oct 2011, 13:55 UTC | reply to this comment | avast internet security is the best internet security suite software in the market for while i like to its speed and precision in detecting and handling any types of cyber things and i like his powerful and efficient working Antivirus engine.i just do a little test on virus detection rate by comparing this super product with Kaspersky internet security 2012, i just filled a pendrive with full of Virus infected files and i first test with KIS 2012 and it's result is excellent but KIS can't handle couple of files that infected by some of heavy virus and after that i do that same with this awesome avast and the result is ASTONISHING!!! what a security suite it is awesome virus detection rate and have a powerful thing that can handle any type of heavy viruses, i just used that trial for a while and i want to say more that its Proactive protection guards is 100% really helpful for us because its keep me just safe and secure in today's Internet world i like if i got one for free, thanks to Softpedia to this awesome giveaway and thanks Avast for their hard work to make this truly worth thing i really thanks to Softpedia if i got one.please count me.thanks again |

Avast doesn't slow down your computer. It has great virus, spyware, and firewall protection. Avast has real-time protection and it also has sandbox, safezone, weprep, and siteblocking. Like a great IS and I would love to win a free license. Thanks Softpedia and Avast for the giveaway. |

I think avast is very good to protecting my PC from viruses, and I really hope to get a free license from Softpedia. |
| Comment #71 by: Soon on 31 Oct 2011, 14:09 UTC | reply to this comment | Excellent giveaway!another promising security suite offered for this grand giveaway. Avast Internet Security reminds me of how Avast antivirus free protected me in more than a decade ago( when they were moving from version 3 to version 4). There were multiple protection modules made it the coolest free antivirus on those days. I recommended my friends to use it as it remains one of the solid protection for windows pc. Some purchased while some use the free one. Scanning speed is excellent and it uses very few resources. The only problem I have discovered so far is the slowness in deleting the files in sandbox.firewall is very easy to be configured with the clear graph of network flow. Congrats Softpedia for giving this excellently simple suite! |

| Comment #81 by: TP on 31 Oct 2011, 14:23 UTC | reply to this comment | I have been using avast antivirus free version for a few years since I ducked Norton at that time. It has secured my computer from malwares so far. I think it is as good as any paid software. I believe avast internet security can give me even better all-comprehensive protection. I hope Softpedia can award me with avast internet security. |
| Comment #82 by: corttex on 31 Oct 2011, 14:25 UTC | reply to this comment | I've never won the lottery, so I think I won't win now either, but anyway I like Avast.

| Comment #94 by: JIDAV on 31 Oct 2011, 14:39 UTC | reply to this comment | I have heard a lot of googd things and features of Avast Antiviruses and an Internet Security Suite would be very nice as it has the power of antivirus and the Sandbox feature. I had been using trial Anti-Viruses since long so it would be great to have a full version of a reputed antivirus and that too from Avast!
Thanks for this giveaway and please don't let these nice giveaways to stop... |
| Comment #95 by: hakah on 31 Oct 2011, 14:39 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast Internet Security 6 is excellent and has a nice interface. It provides sandbox virtualization, website reputation ratings, firewall protection, antispam, site blocking and on-demand scanner. It does not slow down my system. The detection rate is much better since they have introduced the auto sandbox feature to keep suspicious files from infecting your system. Best of all, it is so easy to use unlike other suites which are too complicated for the majority of users. The compatibility is excellent, works with all of my programs without any issues, the resource usage and system impact is very light. False positives are much lower than other security
suites. The auto decide feature on the firewall works excellent. I have tried some known malware programs and Avast has either auto-blocked or Asked about allowing connection to all of them. This is the best and ideal security suite I like most and would rank it to 5 stars.
Plese count me in this Giveaway and many great thanks to Softpedia for 30 Days Splendid Giveaways on her 10th Anniversary! |

| Comment #100 by: gaquay13191 on 31 Oct 2011, 14:43 UTC | reply to this comment | I read more information about avast internet secuity. It really makes me interested in. So I tried to use it free in some days and its protection is good and better than other software I used to use. I'm not good in using the Internet or English, so I usually go to computer store to repair my computer. It's really make me tired and give away more money. I believe Avast is a good choice for me. If I have one, that a greatest thing to me. Softpedia is one of my favorite web because yours free software help me a lots. I'm very happy because I know someone that is foreigner are reading my comment. Give you a succeed ! |

| Comment #102 by: ocsi on 31 Oct 2011, 14:46 UTC | reply to this comment | I like AIS. This is a very good security software. Avast is very light for system and effective. |
| Comment #104 by: Drago on 31 Oct 2011, 14:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Wow! What a way to end this month! And I would be more than happy to win this one, because Avast Internet Security is my current protection solution. Avast really improved in couple of last years, probably more than any other antivirus program. It's simple, non-intrusive and very effective. It's much cheaper than other popular solutions, but it's also much, much, better than most of them. Hope I win!!! Softpedia thank you so much, once again, for this wonderful month!!! |
| Comment #105 by: ha14 on 31 Oct 2011, 14:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast internet security easily adapts with users internet usage habit, alert when potential malicious site is tried to be accessed, stops malwares to get installed. Sandbox technology will detect suspicious activity. When an app is run in a sandbox, it's running in a virtualized memory, file and registry space. Any memory, file or registry changes are never actually made - instead they are emulated in a sandbox.Positive malware will be detected by Avast real-time protection, instead of the sandbox feature. Good is that Sandboxed files do not take extra time to be lauched and used. The Behavior Shield has user-configurable options, Most time is set and forget so do not interfer much. Since Avast do not consume much ram then can be installed on low end pc and do not drags down system performance . Protection Everywhere With Avast. |

| Comment #107 by: MD678685 on 31 Oct 2011, 14:49 UTC | reply to this comment | It's a super-quick anti-virus, I use it as my main one. The Sandbox, SafeZone and shields are the best you can get, and the fact that it has a screensaver scan makes it all worthwhile.. |

| Comment #109 by: enemyofarsenic on 31 Oct 2011, 14:55 UTC | reply to this comment | HOW AVAST CHANGED ME
avast! is not just any other anti-virus program. Apart from keeping my computer protected from all the security threats, this security software also made me a more responsible computer user. Like others, I was careless with my web browsing and I hardly do weekly scans. In the process, I lost my important files to a nasty virus. Then, I came across avast! which has one of the highest detection rates among free security softwares in the market. Also, it doesn't take too much from my computer resources. I don't experience any slowdown with my computer while the program is running. It's not surprising that it's one of CNET's most downloaded anti-virus software as of this writing. From then on, I regularly research on various ways to protect my PC. I owe my awareness to computer security to avast! |
| Comment #110 by: saugat on 31 Oct 2011, 14:55 UTC | reply to this comment | the antivirus that i have found most user friendly is avast antivirus.....and its a matter of pride that the best software provider has completed a 10 yrs experince...i would b glad if i could get the lisence key to keep my computer protected...... |
| Comment #111 by: micky on 31 Oct 2011, 14:58 UTC | reply to this comment | I have tried avast internet security and found it extremely light on my laptop, but i admit to have uninstalled it for nothing, but to try out other internet suites. Honestly,if i have any chances of getting it back i would not do that agian as i have found avast totally effective against all viruses and malwares. In a nutshell, avast has vast abilities in protecting your pc. |

| Comment #131 by: Dadang Sudirman on 31 Oct 2011, 15:34 UTC | reply to this comment | I used another free AV before, but always failed to protect my laptop from threats. I found Avast from Google. After reading many comments about Avast, I decided to install it on my laptop which had previously been cleaned with a rescue disk. Then I did Avast boot-scan and clean up hundreds of threats on my laptop, which can not be done by the rescue disks. Now I always recommend Avast to everyone who came to me to fix the laptop / PC. This is the best AV I have ever known. Fast, precise, and tough. |

| Comment #137 by: Kennie on 31 Oct 2011, 15:45 UTC | reply to this comment | When it comes to a complete antivirus package nothing is greater than Avast, even Avast freeware gives you the complete package that is unmatched by anything else on the market today.
It's small updates are perfect for dial up speed computers and it's strength is tough enough to clear out even the nastiest virus's.
When it comes down to an AntiVirus solution choose Avast your one stop shop to keep the computer safe. |
| Comment #138 by: Npas on 31 Oct 2011, 15:48 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is the product that every user wants for his PC. I use it for years now and my system is always clean(really!) Thank you Softpedia! |
| Comment #139 by: Mike on 31 Oct 2011, 15:50 UTC | reply to this comment | Won this last December during their promotion and it's about to expire. I sure could use another year being this is the best internet security on the market. Please include me and thanks for this giveaway. |
| Comment #140 by: rick-f on 31 Oct 2011, 15:51 UTC | reply to this comment | I have always loved Avast free version antivirus. And it is an exceptional giveaway to offer 50 licenses here. Avast hasn't let me down with detection, has remained light and the Internet Security Suite offers a safe browsing feature for doing online banking that few people know about. It opens a special version of Google Chrome in a sandboxed environment so a person can make financial transactions online. I've not seen test results for this feature yet but I have tried it and it seems to work well.
One feature of a program I always look for is customer support. let's face it, most security programs will have a hick-up from time to time. But when I have a question about Avast I always get a quick response from their online forum.
If there are any negatives about Avast Internet Security there would be two I am aware of. The first is that the sandbox feature is very basic and does not yet add a tremendous amount of security. I expect this to improve over time as the behavior monitor of Avast is rounding out nicely as it is further developed.
The second issue with Avast I have is that I have noticed that when I submit a missed adware or spyware there is not a quick signature update for that missed malware. I have submitted missed spyware in the past (verified by a majority of VirusTotal scanners) and see the spyware is still missed two weeks after being submitted. I realize antivirus programs get thousands of new malware across the internet daily but I wish there was a more streamlined way to submit missed malware to Avast.
But Avast is an exceptional program overall. Good luck to everyone on winning this. If you do not win and want to find a free antivirus program I highly recommend Avast free version. |

| Comment #144 by: amit on 31 Oct 2011, 15:59 UTC | reply to this comment | avast is a really effective antivirus software, i already used it & i want to use it again............. |
| Comment #145 by: ehsan / sh on 31 Oct 2011, 16:01 UTC | reply to this comment | avast antivirus is good , but , avast intenet security is the best for net with very low cpu usage . |
| Comment #146 by: shumaz khan on 31 Oct 2011, 16:01 UTC | reply to this comment | i love tis antivirus as it has very good detections engine very light to resources and its interface is great . and the one thing which i like the most is the human sound system when it calls whenever it detects any threat or updates itself .according to me this by far the best antivirus in market . |
| Comment #147 by: mynickis on 31 Oct 2011, 16:04 UTC | reply to this comment | all you ...oh okay not all but some of you guys are ridiculous, avast in version 4 [from what I remember] was horrible... trojan's and rest of gang under 18 years old, was still let in on the disco and that was boring... when you visit "more" dangerous page or search on every site, you may have been sure, that you'll got some viruses... from version 5 protection was better, but on some 'weak's" computers, avast was more less in 'Kaspersky' situation, that mean; bother your system, probably now it is better. Protection is good , but still not perfect, sandbox is weak and firewall is only good. In some test's avast failed... you can search on yt. So that IS isn't very good. Why I write that comment? because I tried to win licence for my friend who is acctually 'Avast fan' and have no money for licence. |
| Comment #149 by: ravi on 31 Oct 2011, 16:12 UTC | reply to this comment | avast is doing a great job in protecting pc and is top rated for its perfomance... like to get this chance of winning this product |

| Comment #152 by: RaptorxD on 31 Oct 2011, 16:30 UTC | reply to this comment | I Love this antivirus, I used the free edition in every computer that I fix. |
| Comment #152.1 by: benjie on 01 Nov 2011, 01:10 GMT | I am very happy and confident with avast antivirus but please give me one avast internet security |
| Comment #153 by: iPrism on 31 Oct 2011, 16:33 UTC | reply to this comment | Thanks Softpedia and Avast for the fabulous Avast Internet Security giveaway! I would love to have the latest Avast version 6 because it has been significantly improved compared to previous versions.Also the extra features which are only available in Internet Security edition like the Silent Firewall and AntiSpam helps protecting the system from many threats by providing different layered-based approach and security.
The Silent Firewall is very active and keeps log of every incoming and outgoing connections on the PC plus I love how it alerts the user whenever any application tries to call home and also it configurable and applying application rules for it is easier as well.Finally AntiSpam is useful in case of using email software client to keep it free of any spam and additionally Avast is made compatible to used alongside with Malwarebytes AntiMalware PRO version.
Best Regards |
| Comment #154 by: glhs958 on 31 Oct 2011, 16:34 UTC | reply to this comment | What can one say about Avast other than its one of the best anti-virus + firewall + anti-spam products out their. I have relied on Avast Free to keep my pc safe from online parasites for years and it would great to have the chance to use the full version. |
| Comment #155 by: Nederbelg on 31 Oct 2011, 16:41 UTC | reply to this comment | Great give away from a great website.
Avast is one of my Favorited security software ! |
| Comment #156 by: heiko-heiko on 31 Oct 2011, 16:41 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast it is an excellent anti-virus solution that I use about 8 years. Of course, like any other virus scanner also sometimes makes mistakes.
But all the perfect program for today did not exist. I enjoy Avast. Very fast, reliable, secure, and very clever anti-virus, written by talented programmers.
I especially like the ability to scan before booting OS. That's right: you can not repair the car with the engine running.
I work with the free version of the program and would really like to try the full version.
I love Softpedia! I love Avast! Thanks for the giveaway!!! |

| Comment #159 by: modgerody on 31 Oct 2011, 16:49 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast Anti-Virus
Where to start
I had previosuly been a user of Norten Anti Virus all my life. I would pay the subsciption free, yadda, yadda, long story short, my subsciption ends, so i give Avast a try, upon recommendation from my friend.
After installing the program, I update and run the scan and immediately the software finds at least 4 infected files that Norten left behind, and its only been scanning for a couple minutes.
The layout is the best ive seen, clean, aesthetic. Its simple, easy, does exactly what i want. And i dont have to look at a picture of some guy in a stupid doctors outfit. everytime i click on it.
The free version of this software works better then the paid version of many other softwares, has more features and better live protection as well.
Not to mention it uses half of the memory that norten use to use.
Fast file scanning, i can scan 400gb on my drive in about 2 hours.
Doesnt bother me when im using the computer. Whenever I had norten it would just always bother me with popups, your subsciptions ending, blah blah, this sits there like its told, and barks when someones at the door. Which is what an antivirus software should do. I dont need some program thats gonna take over my desktop with all its crap, i need a solid reliable anti virus program. And over the past ten monthes I have been using Avast free. Ive had less trouble, then i have had in the past ten years with norten or avg.
Avast is truely delivering someone genuine to there customers and they dont even ask anything for it. I can only assume the full version takes this to the next level.
Happy 10 years softpedia. |
| Comment #160 by: faysal on 31 Oct 2011, 16:50 UTC | reply to this comment | i used avast antivirus free version & i think it's very good free antivirus than other free antivirus. i have not enough amount & way to buy internet security. so i can wait & see what will be my luck. |
| Comment #161 by: Nae on 31 Oct 2011, 16:51 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast Internet Security is the right choice for those who are looking for a lightweight antivirus suite as it uses very little memory and doesn't hog the processor's power while scanning. Unlike other anti-virus programs that can slow your computer down, Avast is virtually un-noticeable with its realtime Protection Technology. Avast powerful scanner uses signature matching, database comparison, and heuristic analysis. Even while running a scan Avast doesn’t bog down the PC as much as other anti-virus utilities, so you can carry on your regular work while a scan takes place. The autosandbox technology on the other hand is a brilliant feature which provides additional protection against suspicious files and unknown threats. Besides, the whole interface is clear and simple, and the default settings are fairly well chosen so it's a good choice for beginners....I found Avast to be almost everything I wanted in an antivirus product. It’s light, lean, fast, covers all the bases, and does so in one complete package. Count me in, guys. I would be very happy to win a free license. Thanks. |
| Comment #162 by: partha on 31 Oct 2011, 16:52 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast internet security is my current internet sentinel. It truely hassle free software and convenient one. Undoubtedly I would like to keep it running for another year or so. So lets keep our fingers crossed. |
| Comment #164 by: MadDogTen on 31 Oct 2011, 16:56 UTC | reply to this comment | Oh Wow, Very Cool! I actually use the Avast Free Edition, and have for a few years now. It would be REALLY Great if I had the Full Version!
Thanks for the Giveaway! |
| Comment #165 by: Hyperman on 31 Oct 2011, 16:56 UTC | reply to this comment | I have been using avast free edition for several years now and am in fact very happy with it. It totally kicks * over other software of similar comparisons. I've never used a better anti-virus software hands down, and I'm a high-grade techie! I like the fact that I can, for the most part, just leave it to its pertinent parts all around the clock. I don't use the sandbox feature too often, but like the fact that its there if I want to. There couldn't be a better anti-virus around than Avast! |

A very good AV engine, firewall is quit (but working good)
the thing that really like is the sandbox technology that limit unknown program effects on your system

| Comment #178 by: etta j on 31 Oct 2011, 17:38 UTC | reply to this comment | At last,
My anti-virus has come along
My risky days are over
My PC is like a song
Oh yeah yeah, at last
The discs within are true
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night that I won you
I found a dream that I could seek to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to be a geek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah, and you scan, you scan
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine Avast! |
| Comment #179 by: Siddhartha on 31 Oct 2011, 17:39 UTC | reply to this comment | In an ocean of Security software few stand out and Avast is one of the brightest, personally speaking I prefer Avast Internet Security more than any other (I am using ESET and AVG on my other two). It has one of the smallest impact on boot-up time, so low that its hardly noticeable if you are not having a stop watch handy, and quite light on resources. It provides better features in 50 odd MB file than the other huge 180-200 MB file security softwares.
And if thats not enough, the SafeZone feature (you can compare that with virtualisation or sandboxing, whatever you wish to) lets you isolate an entire process of operations for safeguarding. Some may ask, whats the use?? Well, by that you can not only conduct your banking transactions more safely, but also if there is some security concerning element, that won't affect the systems.
And those who are using desktop email clients can also configure its anti-spam and see the effectiveness it offers. (That's just an example, we need hours to count benefits and effectiveness of Avast Anti-Sapm).
Please don't be fooled by it's Simple yet Trendy User Interface- timely alert about security holes, layers of protection make along with the two most prominent features as mentioned above makes Avast a darling in highly competitive market of security softwares........do i need to mention about the competitive price??? |

So far no hitch and and some intercepts even though with some features off. I really want a full capable avast! |

| Comment #191 by: Balvir11 on 31 Oct 2011, 18:34 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast antivirus is best in protecting from any security problem & the best part of this is that it does not slow down the computer performance.
Also the major reason to have avast on my system is the easiest interface to optimize the antivirus according to my need. |

This giveaway campaign enriched me in the sense of becoming more altruistic, and happier about the winners' tremendous luck of winning so many free licenses... Now, getting back to MYSELF, I really deserve an AVAST license because, day by day, I've done my thorough research on Softpedia and encouraged others to join the Softpedians' club (a little bit of promotion, whatsoever). Don't mind my modesty! All in all, very good job, guys! |
| Comment #199 by: iprahan on 31 Oct 2011, 18:46 UTC | reply to this comment | Hey I'm trying to get this software from last 2 years but unable to get it due to money problem I hope you can give it to me who really wants it........ |
| Comment #200 by: bala on 31 Oct 2011, 18:48 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is a very good internetsecurity suite. IT has very high detection rates, but its firewall using windows firewalls's api's is a minus point. Avast also has a good behavioral blocker. It is also light on system resources and does not slow down the internet. I would like to win a license please count me in. The only problem I faced with avast is that if i install web-rep plugin avast refuses to update and update fails. To solve this I have to re install avast without the web rep plugin to make it work. I hope avast developers fix this problem. I also like the way I can seamlessly install another avast products license key and it gets converted to that version. For eg upgrading from Avast Free to Avast IS is seamless. Thank you hope i win a license. |

| Comment #204 by: Badfinger on 31 Oct 2011, 18:53 UTC | reply to this comment | I paid $120 for 3 years of this one, in the middle of the subscription, some notes to share...
Has sandboxing ability built in for running anything that you are unsure of, and works flawlessly.
For inexperienced PC users, this suite takes some getting used to, but is thorough.
No anti-virus is perfect, a couple times, some things have gotten by it, I scan with other programs though, that are free malware finders/killers and got rid of them.
It has prevented viruses from infected web site links on several occasions that were links I clicked from search engine results.
The A/V updates at least twice a day, I have it set for automatic and pops up and female voice tells me. (can be turned off)
Good luck on getting it free, worthy suite for Firewall / Antivirus. |

I really like this site because here are the best software on the Internet. You are fantastic for licenses to offer so many different competitions such as software and Avast, my favorite antivirus. I've done a tremendous joy when I hear that I was among the winners of which are licensed Avast because I am not my financial resources to buy a license. I hope you still have further to other competitions and hear us well and 20-year anniversary of this wonderful site.
About Avast I have only words of good, I'm not disappointed when it never used but only using the free version is still normal to me because some viruses slip has firewall.Imi sorry but I used Google Translate translation.
Yours sincerely, Bogdan from Romania! |

| Comment #211 by: hakaw on 31 Oct 2011, 19:12 UTC | reply to this comment | The installation steps of Avast internet securityare extremely easy and straightforward which takes only about 10 minutes. The firewall protection is very effective in blocking and identifying attacks. This new Avast 6 introduces two new features of AutoSandbox and WebRep. AutoSandbox allows you to run any program in an isolated environment, you can end the program's process without causing any effect or change to the system. WebRep is another feature which gives users to view on a website's reputation ratings. Another great feature it provides is SafeZone. You can switch to SafeZone when you want to surf or manage sensitive websites for online transactions and banking. In the virtualized desktop, you don't have to worry of being over-rided or monitored by spyware or a key-logger. With these ideal and best features, I have no consideration for other security softwares but Avast 6.
Please count me in this final Giveaway Event and many thanks to Softpedia for such great giveaways on her 10th Anniversary! |
| Comment #212 by: mickymouse on 31 Oct 2011, 19:23 UTC | reply to this comment | I love Avast, tested and used the free version of antivirus. It uses low system recources etc.
Happy anaversary softpedia.

| Comment #213 by: jelson on 31 Oct 2011, 19:28 UTC | reply to this comment | I've tried a vast number of antimalware programs over the years. For the last 11 months I've been using Avast Internet Security and I've been vastly pleased with it I'd rather to continue using it. High detection rates, built-in sandbox feature, light on resources and it never annoys me!!! Plus, it's easy to suspend protection for those apps with tricky installations. |
| Comment #214 by: sunny on 31 Oct 2011, 19:34 UTC | reply to this comment | i love this antivirus i have used it for for so long and recommended all my friends also this antivirus simple install, faster antivirus, uses very less cpu and auto updates dont hav to do anything just leave it on it |
| Comment #215 by: comphelp on 31 Oct 2011, 19:41 UTC | reply to this comment | The first year after buying a computer i used Northon. Despite the repeated assurances of Northon is that my computer is completely secure, clean and reliably reflects all attacks by hackers and viruses grew, computer became slower and slower and eventually became quite ill to think...
I realized that the patient needed urgently to the emergency room. Finally i lost confidence in Northon I began to test various anti-virus programs and found the best among them. Avast I liked it at once. And although he could not cure all diseases after Northon (had to reinstall again OS) but Avast clearly found all viruses, worms and Trojans.
Avast is a really serious protection that does not require large system resources. and does the job perfectly. Really great and really best AV software!
Thanks Softpedia for this great giveaway!!! |
| Comment #216 by: cypherinfo on 31 Oct 2011, 19:41 UTC | reply to this comment | It is the only one to be designed with the user needs in mind: I download it, I scan it, I "sandbox" it and if ok I use it. More, I browse and buy on the web in full security and anonymity with the safezone, finally all of the main features are secure:mail, IM, and no rootkit may scare my system. I'm sure Avast will be there even with the newly clickjacking security thread! Thank you Avast. |
| Comment #217 by: Gourav on 31 Oct 2011, 19:48 UTC | reply to this comment | I read the review for Avast Internet Security, I laughed my * off... it failed to remove viruses and detect firewall leaks. compared to other antivirus bundles it sucks."Avast!'s suite offers most of the expected suite components plus some unusual features like virtualization, Web reputation rating, and a secure browser. However, the best suites are significantly better at core tasks like protecting against viruses and spam." |
| Comment #218 by: Rupam on 31 Oct 2011, 19:56 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is a really best av software i think. It's very easy to use & fast. Its remove trojans,autorun,and kind of malwares. I love it. |

Allready expired my trial period.
I use now avast free edition. I want to download avast Internet protection but my money... hoppefully I am one of the lucky. |
| Comment #222 by: Nendarian on 31 Oct 2011, 20:14 UTC | reply to this comment | As a software tester (a hobby) i came by a lot of security suites. Apart from one of the best malware detection rate (which is around 95-98% for zero day treats) i find it that Avast IS has by far the best interface with all the info i could need and all of it is arranged very well. It is really light suite so it wont slow down the system, but than again (except Kaspersky) not many will. I would gladly change my protection suite for Avast if i do fget the chance from this great giveaway. Good luck to all. |

Thumb's up to softpedia. |
| Comment #225 by: Dragonheart on 31 Oct 2011, 20:26 UTC | reply to this comment | Since the introduction of the new and improved interface of Avast Antivirus, the product has become more popular and is favorite by more and more users worldwide.
I'm currently using Avast free, and always recommend it to all my friends and neighbours.
It is non-intrusive, reliable and easy to use with a nice and clear interface.
The frequent definition updates should give you a secure feeling, as signatures of threads also change frequent.
I don't have any experience with the extended features of Avast Internet Security, but I'm certain these are each as good as the antivirus.
As it was for me in the beginning, is now and ever shall be:
With Avast , a secure computer and of course virusfree. |

| Comment #228 by: Stefan on 31 Oct 2011, 20:46 UTC | reply to this comment | Back in 1945, the US Army first decided to use the Avast bomb to bring Virus War 2 to an end, but after seeing the destructive effects of Avast!, they later decided to use just simple atomic bombs instead. The world wasn't ready for a virus mass destruction tool like Avast. But lastly it can now evade our computers, and let us live without worries, because no viruses will ever survive it!! It's the Internet era, it's the avast! Internet Security era! now anyone can have it by posting a comment here...

| Comment #229 by: alex on 31 Oct 2011, 20:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Best all around-light suite at the moment! Detection is getting better. Behavioral shield has improved from being a passive one. Webrep too. SafeZone is a very useful tool especially for online transactions. Auto-Sandbox has also improved quite good on deteting keyloggers. Virtualization Sandbox is okay and is like RunSafer. Would love to have one as my license will expire soon. Firewall needs some work especially on leaktest and application termination but it's a decent and light one. Can be augmented by Process Hacker. Count me in please :) |

| Comment #233 by: Gapp on 31 Oct 2011, 21:03 UTC | reply to this comment | Improved features like sandboxing and a secure browser. And its WebRep(somewhat similar to WOT) toolbar will become a useful site rating tool once it accumulates enough user votes.
Firewall is decent but some improvements are needed as this one is a suite. But this has to be noted, Avast has a useful Network tool like Trace Route and IP Address or Domain details. Well to some the use these kind of tools is great, they always help to check where exactly the problem is occurring in the network. It displays the details in a graphical manner, so it is easy to understand.
Great giveaway guys! Consider me in! |

I don’t know if this is due to Avast or not, but, to be honest, I really don’t care: it’s enough to me that my kid has been safe with Avast, so I would love to win this to upgrade her security.

only avast suits mine and thank u softpedia for providing these wonderful
set of giveaways. |
| Comment #246 by: leofelix on 31 Oct 2011, 23:13 UTC | reply to this comment | Happy 10th Anniversary SofPedia and Happy Halloween to all.
And Thank you Avast for your generous gesture.
What a great wonderful surprise!
I'm already and Avast Internet Security customer and I am very happy with it, but my subscription is about expire, shouldn't I win a license I'll renew my exisiting one or I shall install Avast 6 free for sure.
I find myself very comfortable with Avast IS 6.01 as it is very light in system resources, it comes with many lovely features such as a perfect online protection which includes:
1) Web protection
2) Script protection
3) Network shield to prevent known malicious sites to load
4) Sandbox technology to safely surf the web (similar to sandboxie)
I am not even concerned by drive-by-downloads and keyloggers as the Safezone feature is able to create a fully isolated environment, just like a second virtual O.S and NO malware can infect my real O.S.
I can shop on line with no worries at all.
Other features I like are the Behavior Shield( a kinda of light weight sized HIPS) and the Avast IIS mail shield and antispam.
Avast IIS built in firewall is easy to configure and to use, very good for a home user.
Avast has fast and accurate database signature updates and a friendly community which are remarkable with no doubts .
Avast is highly customizable, this is a point of strength more in my opinion as you can install only the features you need.
Worth a mention is the Avast anti-rootkit module which is based on Gmer technology. Enough said!
Rootkits are the most nasty malware as they are hidden and can be installed without user notice. A rootkit can harm you PC and cause big headaches;).
I could spend hours to praise Avast, I'd rather to stop as I feel myself thrilled thanks to this wonderful giveaway.
Once again thank you Avast and Softpedia.
While crossing my finger I wish you all good luck:)

| Comment #247 by: karenmarie on 31 Oct 2011, 23:21 UTC | reply to this comment | I've used Avast for a year--maybe two. What impressed me about this product to begin with, is that our IT guy used the free version to clean up a computer at work. I installed it on all of my computers at home that night. I have no problem with it--it runs and stops me from corrupting my computer. Love it mostly because I can't afford to pay the IT guy what my work does. I use Malwarebytes along side it and it doesn't seem to have conflicts. |

| Comment #251 by: Watcher1924 on 31 Oct 2011, 23:32 UTC | reply to this comment | I recently downloaded a strategy game that seemed good. I liked it a lot but after the first run my security programs started giving me some red signals. They were more alarming than usual so I didn't feel comfortable to use the game and I was disappointed. Then I thought that it was a chance to start using virtual environments, so I downloaded in a hurry Sandboxie and - with quite some curiosity - I gave it a try. Long story short, the strategy game run without problems and I was exited for starting a revision of this genre.
The moral of the story: if you really want to win a license from Softpedia for the program you like, do so the right moment and not the next day, when it will be about another giveaway... |

| Comment #255 by: mkg_just4u on 01 Nov 2011, 00:06 UTC | reply to this comment | So, sad to hear that this 31 day campaign has finished. How this days passed, can't realize. Really enjoyed these days with softpedia. However, I hope softpedia would always continue offers like this. And, congratulating once again very very happy birthday to Softpedia and its family & team. May your anniversary milestone keep go on...
And, now talking about Avast! Internet Security. Great thanks to alwil from Czech. I love only and only avast. I have fallen in love with it since almost 2 years. I have used its all versions and products from older to the latest. Presently, I have been using genuine Avast! Internet Security, one of the 10 licences awarded by Softpedia few months ago. Great thanks to softpedia for this. There is no any other like it. There is no problem in my pc since 2 years. I am very happy with it. It is a great guard for my pc. Proud to be an avast user. I keep searching and downloading viruses in the web but they are crushed in seconds by avast. As there is a saying that "When we run away from problems then they chase us. So, never run away from problems. Chase them and let problems run away from us." In the same way viruses run away from avast. I use to recommend my lots of friends to use Avast. But my so many friends have no internet connection, so they could not update avast. Hence, they give their flash drives to me to scan first on my pc and then they insert it in their own freely. I become very happy when I see the red message emerging from the right bottom corner with unique alert voice. And, then I get it scanned totally finding lots of infections and making flash drive clean. We don't need to do any thing, avast does itself its recommended actions. While other anti viruses hang out when cleaning dangerous viruses. But, avast's orange keeps on rotating and dancing which ever virus or threat there may be. Its free product is far more than any paid anti virus softwares. Due to this greatness of avast, it has won several great awards. There are millions of users and millions of downloads as well. There is almost no false detction. The best feature of avast is speed. It never slows down my computer. It loads first at the right bottom clock corner of pc. After it, other applications come on loading. Its updates are very small and frequent. It can be updated even on slow connections. Its skin is also so funny. Avast says "Be Free". Really, it is correct. I am absolutely free since 2 years and I will remain free in coming days until there is Avast. And, free in monetary sense as well. We don't need to pay if there is avast free anti virus. I always prefer AIS "Public/High Risk Zone" firewall mode to get protected with any hacker of the world. There is also silent gaming mode creating no problem while playing heavy games. I have never used its network lock feature because there is no fear though not locked. There are a lots of scanning modes. I have also never scanned complete pc after installing avast. Because, I am sure there is no infection at all. We should remember that "Prevention is better than cure", so we should not let virus to enter at all rather than curing after entering pc. Its real time shield and anti spam are of world class. So, at last I request softpedia from the inner most corner of my heart, to select my comments. I would like to gift this licence to my elder brother. Best of Luck.... |

| Comment #258 by: eyebee on 01 Nov 2011, 00:40 UTC | reply to this comment | well, well ... you have saved the best for last. other than the o/s a good internet security suite is THE most important piece of software in ones' computer. Avast! Internet Security is definitely among the best of the best in my opinion. everyone wants it! including me.

| Comment #263 by: blackpete on 01 Nov 2011, 01:21 UTC | reply to this comment | I am a computer technician, fixed a lot of computers, and I always install Avast because of their good performance. There is always room for improvement though, what about if a pendrive was already checked, to be able to recognize it and not check it again.

| Comment #265 by: Yume no Hana on 01 Nov 2011, 01:37 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is a very good antivirus program. However, sometimes it made my computer go BSOD (sadly). Apart from that, it is one of the best AV that I will recommend to my friend. I've been using Avast Free Antivirus for years, hopefully I'll have a chance to try the pro version for once. |

| Comment #271 by: n00b4ever on 01 Nov 2011, 02:08 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast has become the clear leader in Internet Security with really no close competition. |
| Comment #272 by: mikey1975777 on 01 Nov 2011, 02:23 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is one of the better anti-virus programs on the market. It's certified by almost all the major virus labs, and consistently performs in the top levels of virus and malware detection. I've used Avast, both the free anti-virus and Avast Internet Security, and this is what I discovered.
Avast Internet security is chock full of features. It includes an anti-virus program, firewall, 8 different malware shields, a sandboxing feature known as Safe Zone, and different tools that protect the user while connecting to social network sites. Avast Internet Security also protects a user's identity, and filters spam from his/her email inbox client.
Initially, I was attracted to Avast Internet Security's wealth of features and flashy GUI, but I had a feeling it was going to take forever to learn how to use all of the program's features. I found, though, that every feature was straight-forward, easy to learn and operate, and came with plenty of help literature.
As with all new security software I install, I ran some security tests on Avast Internet Security to see how it would fare against certain attacks. What I ended up with was mixed results.
Avast's anti-virus engine did great. It didn't let a single virus or contaminated file near my machine. Avast's way of protecting its users from detected malware is to disconnect from the site or the download link, and it worked like a charm every time. The only thing that detracted from the anti-virus portion of the program was that I was constantly being asked to virtualize (sandbox) programs I downloaded, even though the software was completely safe. Maybe Avast should invest in some sort of white or black list to help minimize this issue.
The firewall, however, left much to be desired. Avast's firewall program is initially set to 'automatic', which means Avast decides what is or is not allowed. Several tainted and unrecognized programs were allowed to access and then run on my machine during testing, on the 'automatic' setting. I then changed the settings to try to heighten the firewall's sensitivity, but the results were pretty much unchanged. In the end, I had to specifically block the "bad" programs if I didn't want them to access my computer. The firewall did do a bit better when I tested it with PC Flank, however, and ended up blocking many of the test's trojans and "bad" packets.
The Safe Zone portion of Avast Internet Security was really neat. Upon clicking on the Safe Zone icon, I was immediately transferred to a secure desktop and browser. I did some keylogger tests while using Safe Zone, and it completely blocked all the malicious software. I was very impressed.
In all I would say that Avast Internet Security is a safe bet. I only used their 30 day trial, but I did put the software through its paces during those 30 days. Knowing what I now know, I would feel safe using the program again. |

| Comment #277 by: Soft_for_you_Softpedia on 01 Nov 2011, 03:04 UTC | reply to this comment | My beloved Softpedia - no wait, that doesn't sound right
me and you...10 years of a growing relationship, 10 years of teasing me with your goodies slowly, over and over.
Then the past 30 days of intense nights together, me contemplating the lines for love songs for you and your sweet products, hoping you will notice my infatuated voice among your many admirers
...you are now closer to me, more under my skin than ever...may I call you...my Softie?
My Softie, just the tingling sensation that you might spare just a tiny bit of your precious gifts, just 1/50 of your endless love to me, already makes me go soft in my knees for you more than ever.
My beloved - what is just one little key to one of your AVASTs for you shall be A Vast, vast, vast honor for me, an endlessly cherished key to your heart.
Softie, oh Softie...please let me feel secure in your arms. In return, I will be yours forever. |

| Comment #280 by: rodken on 01 Nov 2011, 03:11 UTC | reply to this comment | I had Avast IS for a year, version 6 has put them up there with the best (was really impressed). My subscription ran out and I actually won a year of Bitdefender Total which would be good but I just can't get used to the firewall. Would be great to have Avast back. I've used it for a long time (free one), even when it didn't look that professional (remember version 4 and 5).
Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance! |

| Comment #301 by: dimebar on 01 Nov 2011, 05:38 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is arguably the most recognized anti virus at this moment in time! with its slicks looks and excellent protection its become a big name in homes now, where as before hand AVG was the most used. It is the one of the lightest anti virus that out there atm. I have never used the full suite and would love the opportunity to use it...it has a sandbox on top of an already great virus protection and now with a firewall you would have to do something really stupid to get a virus if you had avast installed. Pirate talk is funny but please don't make me walk the plank and consider me for this softpedia. Thanks guys |
| Comment #302 by: kritu on 01 Nov 2011, 05:39 UTC | reply to this comment | I've used many other antivirus soft-wares like Norton and Avira but I find avast! the best as it doesn't slow my computer and automatically updates itself.

I've never tried Avast Internet Security, but I would really like to. I've been using KIS and my subscription is about to expire and it would be so awesome to win Avast Internet Security. From the reviews I've read about it I would have excellent security and save me a lot of money and in this economy that means so much.
Thanks Softpedia for the awesome giveaways...you guys are great!!!!!!!!
Hope I'm a winner and good luck everyone!!! |

| Comment #323 by: Exodus on 01 Nov 2011, 08:12 UTC | reply to this comment | AVAST Internet Security is among the most capable and feature-rich Internet security solutions currently available on the market. The enhanced antivirus protection, which is already top-notch in the free version of AVAST, is complemented by a really intuitive firewall module and extra security layers that can help users keep their personal and financial information secure while shopping online.
With the rise of sophisticated banking trojans during the last few years, people and companies are facing difficult challenges when it comes to protecting their sensitive data. The one-of-a-kind SafeZone feature in AVAST Internet Security enables them to browse the web from a safe and malware-free environment which they can reset at any time for additional peace of mind.
The anti-spam module, while not the best on the market, is an indispensable tool to keep email a productive experience, as it was meant to be. In today's heavily spammed Internet environment, keeping your email inbox clean can be a very time consuming task, so every little bit helps.
The firewall is very intuitive and was designed to be used with ease by both novice users and tech-savvy ones. Even though they are hidden by default, the granular controls that power users look for in firewalls can be easily accessed if needed.
Finally, the interface keeps true to AVAST's minimalist style introduced in version 5, which transformed the company from a simple player in one of the leaders of the antivirus market. The product requires little interaction from users and when it does, performing the necessary tasks just feels rights. Everything is where it should be.
All in all, AVAST Internet Security is a great product that every user should try, which is why a free license key is such a valuable gift. Congratulations Softpedia for this particular giveaway, as well as your awesome month-long campaign. Happy birthday! |
| Comment #324 by: ChiraG on 01 Nov 2011, 08:16 UTC | reply to this comment | 2nd October, 2007. Yes; that is the exact date when I bought my first computer. It has been more then 4 years since and all these years I have tried most antivirus but none of them fulfills all my requirements as far as there free versions go. Most of them have so many limitations. Every time I decide to try out some antivirus other then avast, at the end of the day I end up uninstalling that antivirus and re installing Avast. I have been using Avast since its version 4.8. I feel as the days are going by this antivirus is becoming more and more mature and it's interface is just getting better and better.
Features that I really miss when I use other antiviruses:-
1) When it comes to scanning my system and removing those viruses Avast does it better then most other antivirus I have tried.
2) Auto sandbox feature. It was really a important addition to the security suite as there are some applications that one would like to check in sandbox before really installing it into the system.
3) Boot-time scan feature. This is very essential feature for a antivirus to have and most other free antivirus don't give this feature. I simply love if a virus is not caught in a normal scan it will definitely get caught during boot-scan. I make it a not to boot-scan my system twice a month
4) Webrep. Surfing internet and opening unknown websites can be risky at times, here comes the webrep feature that really helps me out to understand whether it is safe to follow a link or not.
Now on the downside I would want to mention that at times when Avast discovers too many viruses in a flash drive or something and I try to delete all the viruses found at once it just freezes and the avast real-time shield stops functioning. I have faced this problem few times and most of the times it just gets resolved when I restart my system but a couple of times I had to completely uninstall the antivirus and re-install it again.
Other then this Avast is a very good antivirus and all my friends use it. I highly recommend it to everyone around.
Softpedia guys - Keep up the good work
My wishes to you on your 10 year anniversary
Thanks |

| Comment #336 by: paulcrousel on 01 Nov 2011, 09:35 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast has very low false positive rate and one of the reasons is that the database is regulalrly updated, Avast do not slow down pc even when the dedicated firewall is used since in auto mode will do the job, Auto sandbox feature will ensure that malwares will not distrub windows OS. Personal experience with avast free versions is very positive but in current days a stronger version of Avast is necessary and now if you have childrens that use the pc then avast is a great choice since will deny access to accidently visited dirty sites. |

| Comment #352 by: zeusz4u on 01 Nov 2011, 10:59 UTC | reply to this comment | I'll post a small fiction article here, that I have written:
Anti-virus alert!!
We have an important message to all mates: viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, spam and rootkits.
Please be advised that avast! Internet Security 6 has just been released. Many users are upgrading to this new version, so our chances of survival is reducing drastically. We can no longer defend ourselves from avast! 6.
Please make sure that any computer you might infect, does not have avast! installed, otherwise you may become a victim of avast! 6. The new avast SafeZone sandboxing technology may mislead you so you may be feeling safe in that environment, but you are not. This sanboxing technology will destroy you and will save the computer.
Virus definitions are updated several times a day, so even if you're new, your chances of survival are minimal.
Spreading through e-mail is also a bad choice as the built-in e-mail protection module will not let you in.
If you're a rootkit, still no chances of survival when user is executing a boot-time scan.
In conclusion, the final countdown has started, we cannot survive if avast! 6 Internet Security is installed - so pay attention. This is the most dangerous software people have ever created against us.

| Comment #358 by: Bibi on 01 Nov 2011, 11:17 UTC | reply to this comment | Avast is one of the biggest providers of free security software, but it has recently been giving its paid-for versions more of a push.
When it launched versions of its programs last year it gave them a makeover; previously the programs were rather clunky and technical-looking, but the new look was clean and professional.
The new version of the program doesn't make as many changes – in fact, it looks similar to the previous one. The Internet Security edition includes an anti-spam tool and a firewall – an alternative Avast Pro Antivirus 6 includes all the security features except those two and is good if you want to use the free firewall built into Windows.
We would recommend the Avast firewall, though, as it gives lots of configuration options but was still easy to follow. You can download the Avast Free Antivirus product and get the same level of protection, but it doesn't include the innovative new Avast Safezone that's in both paid-for versions.
The Safezone improves upon the ‘sandbox' feature of version five. That allowed users to open potentially troublesome programs in an isolated mode so they can't cause problems on the PC. If you get sent an email that looks dodgy but you want to check it, you can open the attachment in the sandbox. There is now a helpful option to automatically run new programs in the Sandbox.
Safezone extends that to an entire web browser that's boxed off from the rest of the PC, so you can surf any website without any danger to the rest of the PC. But its usefulness does depend on the user remembering to enable it.
Otherwise, not much has changed. The program's controls are well laid-out and easy to follow and configure. A feature that will be familiar to all Avast users is the audible alerts whenever a virus is found or the program is updated. But this can be turned off easily. |
| Comment #359 by: Rohith M on 01 Nov 2011, 11:18 UTC | reply to this comment | Ouch at last ,last give away !!! Microsoft Windows without an antivirus is just like a well build house without door locks, And you know what AVG is a golden lock that youu can trust (In this case ;) ) |

| Comment #364 by: Bob on 01 Nov 2011, 11:35 UTC | reply to this comment | Have you ever used a kind of anti-virus software which is free for most of its options?And have you ever used a kind of anti-virus software which is efficient but silent?If not,I strongly recommend you to use avast Internet security:).I think that avast Internet Security is one of the best anti-virus software I have used.I hold this opinion because of the following reason.
At first,I am appreciate its wonderful user interface.When I open the avast secure center,I can easily recognize every option and the way it works.What is my favorite point is that avast co add some charts in every sections, which can let users understand the status of their computer.And avast can also "speak" words to users when finishing updating the virus database.
At Second,the avast owns great scanning speed.It means that it will not cost too much time before I try to run a strange file.What's more,I am very please for its high detection rates.When I decide to run a strange file,I am more likely to put the execute file into avast's sandbox.Through the sandbox,I can keep my clean files clear of the malicious files.In this way,avast evidently lowens the risk for when running a strange files.I think it is an advanced feature which makes me relaxed when facing the virus.
At last,the avast has a feature named SafeZone.It makes me relaxed when I am shopping or banking online. And It leaves no opportunity for hackers to steal my personal informations,so it is my favorite feature in avast Internet Security.
In a word,avast Intenet Security helps me a lot.And I am hoping to acquire a key for my avast. |

No other information except for your comment and the alias / nickname you provide will appear online.
Most avast! users are familiar with the free version of the antivirus, which offers the same protection as far as the engine and the definitions go, but lacks some protection layers.
