Developed to offer satisfactory protection against an array of malware, spyware, and viruses found online. Avast has launched their Avast Free Antivirus 2015 edition in which ensures that the software will protect from internal and external threats to your PC.
Free antivirus is a benefit that many consumers abide by because not everyone goes online all the time and spending a lot on antivirus software that you don’t use don’t add up.

However, unless you are trying to use your PC to visit illegal websites or hack into the site, and then you should be fine with the free version. The new edition will aim for more protection against new threats in 2014.
