The Features avast! antivirus 4.8

Avast! has long been a popular free antivirus. The independent labs give it good marks, though not as good as the very best. Now it also removes spyware—not as well as Spyware Doctor or WAV, but better than most. And it's a seriously tough protector against attacks on a clean system


The avast! user interface is completely separate from the underlying protection engine, which means it's possible to change the UI utterly just by selecting a different skin. You can get dozens of skins from the company's Web site, some designed in-house and some crafted by enthusiastic users. Skins don't have to be rectangular; they don't even need to have straight sides. You'll find skins in all shapes and sizes, including some themed on cultural icons like Star Trek and Spider-Man. This feature has nothing to do with the product's level of protection, of course, but it's fun.
