Secure Windows XP With Avast Antiviru

Avast Free Antiviurs

I have been using Avast Anti-virus for almost three years now. I am using the Free version of avast. Before installing anti-virus on my system it was constantly infected by virus. I used to format the Windows and reinstall it. Before Avast i tried other products. Symantec's nortan Anti-virus was heavy. It will eat away your system resources and the system will hang. AVG antivirus was not very effective.

Avast is good in many things. I won't allow a virus inside the system. It can be easily and automatically updated using internet. Just connect to the internet. Avast will update the virus definitions automatically. When a program update is available it will inform it. It is also free for life. You just have to register and get a registration key. Registration is free at avast website. Just put the registration key using the avast interface. The registration is valid for one year. After one year you have renew your registration.

One of the drawbacks is that the free version does not clean the infected files. It can quarantine the infected file or delete the file. I don't know whether the professional edition can clean the file. Another problem is with Autorun virus in removable disks. It will constantly show popup message for some kind of autorun viruses.
 Otherwise avast is good. I am running an internet cafe and i use avast free on all my systems. I am relieved from formatting hard drive when virus attacks.
