 Praised by many users for its pc protection, Avast (no longer avast!) is a multi-function security program that's very easy to use and one whose power is no longer in doubt. 

Everything you need to secure your PC

Note: this is a standardized review of Avast 2016. At the end we describe any difference in the Windows specific Avast Free Antivirus 2016 version that you are reading.

Avast Free Antivirus offers real-time protection for your computer. It continually updates its database of virus definitions to guarantee maximum protection against online threats, including viruses, spyware and rootkits. Five types of scans are available to verify their presence on your PC and eliminate them.

Other types of scans are available, not just for viruses, but to optimize and improve the performance of your PC. First off is a feature that allows you to scan your computer to see if any programs need to be updated. Then, the newly added features help detect any deficiencies in terms of performance (the Cleanup module), and scan your local network to detect security flaws affecting your Wi-Fi, your connected devices, or your router.

To make things easier when performing these scans, the 2016 version of Avast Free Antivirus includes the Smart Scan feature, which combines all the essential scans into one single unified scan.

Avast Free Antivirus also provides you with a wide range of tools for carrying out different tasks. These tools convert Avast Free Antivirus into a real multifunction program that goes far beyond your basic antivirus software.

Avast Free Antivirus also offers a feature for cleaning up your browsers: VPN Secure Line, a VPN service; SafeZone, an environment that allows you to browse securely and privately online so that you can make purchases or do online banking with very little risk; Sandbox, which allows you to run programs with less risk on the operating system by using a virtual environment; remote troubleshooting; and a feature for creating recovery disks.

Finally, you're able to adjust several settings that let you customize Avast Free Antivirus's configuration. You can also access statistics showing personal and general usage. 

An accessible interface and increased performance

Despite its large number of features, Avast Free Antivirus is still a very accessible program with excellent ergonomics and a generally accessible interface that's extremely easy to use.

For the 2016 version, Avast Free Antivirus maintains the same interface as its predecessor, which also underwent a complete overhaul. It retains its customizable home page, as well as the side menu to access the program's features.

To make the program easier to use, the 2016 version of Avast Free Antivirus provides you with a whole new support system, in addition to online help that's regularly updated.

Finally, regarding the performance of the antivirus, Avast Free Antivirus 2016 includes new technologies such as Secure DNS, scan HTTPS, and Home Security Network. These features are intended to strengthen the security provided by the software, but I won't burden you with all the technical details.

What you get with Avast Free Antivirus 2016? You will enjoy the five step virus scanning with intelligent analysis. Also you'll have access to test versions of some tools like VPN SecureLine. Download this version of Avast if your top priority is a virus free PC. 

A first rate Antivirus

With its accessible interface, reinforced protection, and advanced settings, Avast remains one of the best antivirus programs for those seeking a complete and reliable antivirus.
