Avast Antivirus has released version 4.8 of the free full-featured antivirus product. With the new version comes antispyware protection and rootkit detection. The ever-evolving world of computer security requires new levels of protection that Avast continues to offer for free to Home users. You'll need to request a free license key by registering your email address with them. The key is valid for a year at which time you can register for another key. So ditch the bloated Norton and McAfee products that are sucking your system resources and install Avast.
