Editor's review :

I don't know if you tested a lot of similar antivirus software. I tested on my PC this free antivirus and compared with other similar antivirus that you need to pay for, this one had greater rates of detection. Even advanced types of viruses like the ones that has polymorphic capacities ( such viruses are changing their code in order to confuse the antivirus and to avoid detection ) are being recognised/detected by Avast Home Edition antivirus. Avast antivirus it is endeed a great anti malware tool and it is perfect to use if you intend to surf the Internet, upload files on the Internet and you want to chat safely. I also heard that some people are using this antivirus for over 2 years and they didn't have any problems. All you have to do is to keep it updated so that he can detect new types of viruses. In conclusion, Avast Home Edition antivirus is a freeware antivirus which is more than you could get. There are not many similar antivirus products that can offer you protection for free. Being such a powerful application and using it correctly, you will have a small chance for getting an infection or becoming another victim of malware. Also this program is compatible and runs great with almost all Microsoft Windows versions.

Other notes :

The most important tip that we can offer you when we are talking about any antivirus software is that: you should never install more than one antivirus product on your system. This could crash your system or it may create a negative impact ( you may observe an conflict between them ) that can reduce the efficiency of the antiviruses installed on your system or it can eat alot of resources from your system. However, we have tested different antiviruses products installed on the same system in combination with antimalware tools like SpyBot Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware 2007 and we had very high rates of detection. This method cannot apply to all kinds of antivirus products and definetely will not work with all of them. Keep in mind that you may have another problem if you are running an personal firewall in combination with an security suite like Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 ( for example ). It is not recommended to do so but you can combine a good antivirus + a good firewall + a good antimalware tool and you should have a pretty good protection. Beside all of this advices and as an last ideea you also shoud know that if you're machine has already being infected ( in case that you observe/notice strange behaviour of your system ) it is strongly recommended to backup your important files and proceed with a full reinstallation of your OS/system. Reinstall your OS ( make sure you fully format your HDD ) and update your system and start installing antivirus and anti malware related tools.
