Modern anti-virus applications are often equipped with a number of different features to deal with a variety
of malicious items, from spam email messages to a fully fledged
viral infection. When using a PC at work, or at home there are always threats to look out for, but
depending on how you use your computer, it's important to identify a
solution that would best suit your individual needs. For example, if you only use your home computer occasionally, is it
worth spending money on a commercial application or would a freeware
alternative do the job?
Avast! Home 5.0
is a free antivirus suite that offers protection against a broad range
of online threats. The software ships with a behaviour blocker
that can be used to identify and prevent any unusual behaviour and a
scanner for screening incoming and outgoing messages. The new Avast! Sandbox also enables users to browse potentially malicious sites without the fear of infection.
