I thought Avast! was free? - Overclock.net

Hey there! Welcome to the Digital Spy forums. If you’d like to join in, please sign in or register. evening, i have avast anti virus, free, and free firewall zonealarm. now just seen a free 12 month offer from pc toolsoffering spyware doctor antispyware, anti virus, firewall and spam protection, is this free 12 month offer better than what i have now ?????? thanks 0 Comments thanks already have it. 0 System Posts: 2,096,970 Forum Member✭✭✭✭✭ No I wouldn't bother with the PC Tools free offer myself. It would be interesting though if a few people tried it and got rid of their other stuff and kept us updated here and gave their opinions on the suit.I would;Keep Avast Home Edition;Keep Malwarebytes;Keep SuperAntiSpyware;Get Emisoft A-squared free as another alternative to MBAM & SAS.Get Comodo Memory Firewall (free).Get Bitdefender V.10 free edition as a back up anti-virus. This is a stand alone scanner and does not have 'on-access' realtime protection like Avast. Just scan as and when you like, but it's better to turn off the Avast 'on-access' when bitdefender is scanning.Get rid of Zonealarm (free) and replace it with Comodo Firewall Pro (free). Just install the firewall and not the anti-virus engine. 0 System Posts: 2,096,970 Forum Member✭✭✭✭✭ If I remember correctly in this months PC Pro magazine they have tested all the major internet security packages and PC Tools came last, Even Norton and McAfee beat them 0 If I remember correctly in this months PC Pro magazine they have tested all the major internet security packages and PC Tools came last, Even Norton and McAfee beat themYes they tested 15 suites and Alvira won it this year but McAfee & Kaspersky still came out alright.I know of Nortons reputation but I thought that McAfee was a good one, Now that I have been using Avast for over 5 years. I have never had problems running the program. When I did have a concern related to an upgrade, not only did they rectify the concern, they overly compensated me for any problems it may have caused me. Customer services is wonderful... they treat you as a customer that matters and not just "another caller" or a number. I highly recommend using Avast!!!Date of experience: 15 May 2013Great antiviruswhy the hell to pay for the same antiviruses as Kaspersky if you can have Avast??Date of experience: 10 May 2013So so Software...ITs good and its free.. but i tried to remove it.. and it was soo hard and complicated that i thought it was a virus.. maybe i did something wrong.. just a bad experience..Date of experience: 09 May 2013génialsimple efficace the bestDate of experience: 06 May 2013Cleared hard to kill virusAvast has cleaned off a virus in my school PC that i know will spread through the network, thus i disconnect and use avast, cleaned up and test connecting to one pc, no problems found at all, epicDate of experience: 29 April 2013The Trustpilot ExperienceAnyone can write a Trustpilot review.

Trying to help you, but in the other thread: How to delete "AVAST Software" key from Windows 7 Ultimate registry? Hi, I cannot get rid of the "AVAST Software" key from my Windows 7 Ultimate registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AVAST Software When I click that key, I get this popup: Error Opening Key AVAST Software cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details... www.w7forums.com #5 JDD, I profusely apologize if you thought I was referring to yourself as being stupid. I was not! I was referring to myself for being stupid for not properly checking this site first to see if there were other threads that could relate to that most recent Avast thread I was posting in.Possibly you felt/feel my stating this thread should be locked was a form of some sort of harassment, but that is actually the usual procedure on tech sites and that is done to keep things from getting confused.Again, it was never my intention in anything I wrote to be displaying a harassment style of communication to be aimed at yourself, JDD..

AVG antivirus is here... is not too easy, from that website, to find out what AVG means, but I'm sure it is something kinda simple I haven't thought of yet... oh well...However, I didn't exactly like AVG. It wasn't that impressive and it was kinda a hassle to use.Experiment though, for you might like it and it is free. However, anotehr freeware option I'm throwing in is Avast Home... (nice thing to start off with) ::You MUST register with the company on their website by providing an e-mail address. This gives you a serial code that allows usage for 14 months and after that point, you register again. You can register as many times as you want. As far as I have seen, I have recieved no spam from Avast, EVER.Pros ::Automatic virus database updating, program updating (can turn these on/off)Can automatically scan files that you try to open, try to save (can turn on/off since this may be a speed hit)Integration with MANY e-mail clientsIn fact, integration with IM programs and P2P programsMyDoom actually ties into this morning...I downloaded my e-mail this morning... I have Avast set to download automatic virus updates and to scan stuff being saved. Avast also has an Outlook plugin to help it out. Anyways, I tell Outlook to get e-mails...*alert sound* WARNING -- There is a virus on your computer. Your computer is not infected however you have to tell Avast what to do with this virus...Delete Send to Virus Chest IgnoreI got 6 warnings. I told Avast to send the viruses to the virus chest (so I can e-mail avast them later to report more information about this virus). The e-mails came through just fine, minus the attachments, with a text message at the bottom of each message saying what Avast did to them.I am impressed with Avast. It can be set up to prevent anybody from doing anything stupid. If the program is set up to scan programs as you open then, you would have recieved a virus warning when you double clicked on the file. If you have it set up to scan on save, you would have recieved the warning as the file was saving to your hard drive. Eitherways, you would get the warning before the virus infects the system. AVG and other programs can only detect viruses if their passive scans of your hard drive manage to be Tell the initial problem? Have you thought about that?How do you think we can help you if you don't provide details like os/sp and what exact version of avast? Have you thought about that?If you want a coconut that is hanging in a tree, you can jump what you want but that will not get you the coconut.You will have to start at the base of the tree. Pondus November 19, 2014, 11:44am 14 system November 19, 2014, 1:07pm 15 I rest my case.It’s not about how to disable updates - I do update but manually. : : : : >:(The problem is Avast 2015 Free version all the options i change eg untick keeps restoring themselves upon closing user interface to the default setting when i re open the interface. What’s there hard to understand? Eddy November 19, 2014, 1:31pm 16 The topic you have set:How to disable automatic updates in Avast 2015?And now you say:It's not about how to disable updatesYou still haven’t told what os/sp you are using.You still haven’t told what exact version of avast you are using. Para-Noid November 19, 2014, 2:20pm 17 Guys…the poster is asking “why his personal settings do “not” stick and/or “saved”.?”I strongly disagree with his reasoning but the poster should try a repair…Control Panel>uninstall a Program>double click “avast”>click “repair”>reboot. Para-Noid,I agree. Avast has a problem retaining user settings, especially after Windows restart. Some settings are not saved at all. In some installs, an Avast repair or clean reinstall doesn’t help. Para-Noid November 19, 2014, 4:41pm 19 One thing I do every single day is to shut my laptop down completely.Too many people use sleep mode and end up with other issues that areboot will often resolve.I have noticed several users complaining about settings not being saved.Hopefully this will be fixed

It is available free to download from their website.Read on to find out what makes Avast Secure Browser tick and why I recommend it if its your first security-oriented browser.What Is SafeZone?SafeZone (now known as Secure Browser) is a web browser from Avast that has internet security as its flagship feature.The browser, which is based on the open-source version of Chrome called Chromium, focuses on protecting you from attacks and data theft when online.Besides the robust security features, the browser offers quite a few convenience options, which I will discuss in its own section.The browser is more tailored towards security rather than customization or other features.It is pretty easy to install and set up, so if you’d like a browser that’s easy to use and keeps you safe, SafeZone is a good bet.The default search engine is Google, and the layout is the same as Chrome, so if you’re coming from Google Chrome, the transition will be smooth.The browser is available on Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, so the platform wise it has all the bases covered.Convenience FeaturesThe Avast SafeZone browser lets you group tabs into easy to view sections by using the “Add to Tab Group” feature and color code the groups as you

Random Thought On Avast - Avast Free Antivirus / Premium

Avast Reviews 25,515 •4.2Companies on Trustpilot can’t offer incentives or pay to hide any reviews.See what reviewers are sayingAvast works, sometimes too well as I get an occasional false positive, but its keeping the nasties away and helping me maintain my computer at optimum level. I am a satisfied client that renews every year. Thanks Avast.Avast is good!!Avast has been my security app for quite some time now and I have found them very good in terms of protection and very helpful with the notifications, the updates and advice. I absolutely recommend them.The free anti-virus service is very reliable and effective. The paid firewall and driver renewal services also worked without a hitch.On the other hand, they have a lot of other serices on offer, and regularly let me know that it is time to sign up to this or upgrade that service. It is not clear which of these is really important in my case, despite all their warnings.I changed the rating and added two stars because I discovered that it offers me a free VPN on my mobile and after some settings I made the pop-ups improved. In addition, it offers immediate risk detection and has saved me many times even before I went premium and was a donor.

Avast keeps wanting to remove the Swagbucks toolbar (the only toolbar I use), YouTube Video and Audio Downloader, and the Classic Explorer Bar which is part of Classic Shell. system June 17, 2014, 9:50pm 2 Alikhan June 17, 2014, 10:46pm 3 avast! wouldn’t classify add-ons if there wasn’t a reason for it.That being said:f you don’t want browser clean-up, it’s simple enough to remove from:Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > avast! > Change > [untick] browser cleanup.That will remove the browser cleanup module from avast!

I am a computer tech and have been one for over 25yrs and I have been recommending avast and also using avast since they started distributing their software. I have had many times seen when avast thought that it found a virus and it was just some tools that I use to repair corrupt filer. Right now I am having a problem with avast browser cleanup, It is telling me that i have 5 or so browser addons that are suspicious and ask me if I would like to remove them,. If I say yes then avast ask’s me which browser home page i want to replace mine with,. It doesn’t offer
