This powerful software free for home use protects your PC in several ways, of course, in real time as most antivirus. What distinguishes Avast from the competition, and makes a positive difference is its coverage of web browsing and P2P transfers. We all know how risky these types of exchanges can be and because of that the need for an antivirus arises to address the menace.
Avast includes an Antispyware and anti-root kit tool, which is another remarkable feature, since in most cases, these tools are not part of the free antivirus.
Its interface is very different from a common antivirus, resembling a music player instead of an antivirus. It also allows the use of skins to customize it, on the official website we can find a multitude of options for downloading, most of them created by users themselves.

- Sandbox: it allows us to explore safely suspicious applications or websites
