New viruses are being found “in the wild” all the time. Further, the
speed at which these new viruses spread is increasing all the time. A
key problem is not that antivirus programs do not detect such viruses,
but the fact that most users do not use any antivirus program at all or,
perhaps worse, the antivirus software and / or virus definitions
database is out of date.
ALWIL Software, the producer of avast!, decided in June 2001 to help to solve this situation by offering avast! Home Edition free of charge for home users who do not use their computer for profit. To get industry leading antivirus protection for your home PC, download the software, and then register it.
