It is also possible the license file with an already installed demo version directly read. This works on the license file you saved previously. Just select the license file with a left mouse click and then press the right mouse button. Once the menu appears, move the mouse on the menu item "Open With" and select "aswChLic.."

    different to there virus scan? i use there home "free version" nothing but +'s for avast…

    • +3

      Yes. Includes many extra features, like a proper firewall.

      Even the Pro version of the AV has more features than the Free version.

      • +1

        Did it thanks OP.

        Looks pretty much exactly the same as the free version I already had.
        Can't see any Firewall…

    Free is always good, can't complain at all.

  • Does this work for Avast 6 ?

  • +6

    Just use Microsoft Security Essentials. More secure and compatible than Avast! or AVG. And also completely free.

    • I dont agree on that….
      What other Suite Gives you a sandbox mode? Nothing is more secure than that….

      • Sandbox mode?

        For x64 OSes as well?

        I've had trouble finding a sandbox program for a 64 bit system :(

        • I have a 64bit system and use the free home Avast and since a recent ungrade/update thing (still with the free version) I have noticed it asking me to open/run some progs in Sandbox. So yeah it must have been added in that upgrade.

        • +3

          Comodo Internet Security (Has sandbox, firewall, antivirus all the bells and whistles) yes is FREE

          http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-s…

        • +1 to Comodo!!!

      I much prefer Avast! over MSE. Not sure why, but MSE seems to make my netbook lag a bit more than usual.

      Also Avast! has more features, asides from being completely free as well…

    • +2

      1 - Avast and AVG free can install on more systems than MSE due to wider OS compatibility (they can install with different levels of Service Pack and Windows 2000).
      2 - MSE is anti-virus with a slight (if rarely useful) malware detection component. Avast Internet Security is a full IS package, including spam filter, firewall, built in SSL email security, the ability to run suspicious programs in a virtual environment etc. MSE is not "more secure".

    • +1

      I agree MSE is good enough for most people and absolutely free.

  • could i save these files and use them next year for example? or is it activating it until a certain date?

    • +3

      The license is set to expire at a certain date. If you activated them on Jan 2012 for example, it will still expire on April 2012. You may as well use it ASAP.

      • thanks for the reply, just bought NIS! :(

  • I use Avast already at the moment and I've been having issues with malware (been using MalWares Anti-malware scanner and it keeps on detecting things). Maybe a better Avast might help.

    • +1

      If the infections are not being cleared out completely, it may mean that MalwareBytes is not removing the root cause of the problem and that an unidentified infection is still lurking about. In which case you may need to manually debug and get rid of it using a specialized malware remover or HijackThis.

      http://www.kaspersky.com/virus-removal-tools
      http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/

      • Yeah I might have to go post my Hijackthis log somewhere…

        • Try Super AntiSpyware… I find it is much better at detecting and most importantly removing malaware than Malaware AntiM.

  • +3

    sweet, been using avast! free anti virus for a year, my laptop boots faster with it than with AVG
    thanks op

  • work for a mac?

    • +1

      k just checked, no it doesnt. sorry!

    • +1

      why you need AV for mac?

      • A) Stop viruses spreading to directly linked pcs or via email (some mac viruses have been known to spread to pcs like this) and B) mac's aren't completely immune to viruses and so on, it's just a lot less common.

        • The less popular an OS the less morons are likely to write bugs for them.
          All OS's are vulnerable to bugs.

  • http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/av…

    This is the latest Anti-virus detection report from av-comparatives.org that gives you an idea of which Anti-virus software works well in terms of detection.

    The site also has reports for other tested features of anti-virus software.

    Just some light reading if you're interested

    —edit—

    Just realised AVAST! is in the February test.

    http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/av…

  • how does commodo go up against avast.. i use it now, free.. but if avast is betterer…

    • better means better already no need to add another er (betterer) to be better

        I know.. Me being me. .. Wasn't aware the grammar sherrif was in town! lol

        • +1

          lucky that I did not say that I thought that it was gooder.

      • Wow - great catch. You're the bestest there are!

  • When I try to unzip the file from step two I can't seem to get it open. Something wrong?

    • I had the same problem, got around it by following the advice in the OP's description:

      "To carry out the licensing, you first open the software and select the tab "Administration" menu "subscription" form. There appears "to insert license file" in the window of a button. This window allows you to click and find the path where you saved the license file.

    Avast- I believe the best AV program around at the moment

    • Best free one, you mean? It only manage to get 2 stars out of 3 in the AV-Comparatives tests done in Feb 2011 (due to it's large numbers of false positives), but it's still pretty damn impressive for a free product.

      • Regardless of the false positives, it still in the top 3 in regards to virus detection.

        • Ships ahoy.

    • +2

      I disagree, as scrimshaw said Avast is probably the best free AV.
      For paid check out the charts below.
      http://chart.av-comparatives.org/chart2.php choose from Jan to Jun and you can see the top detection rates are…
      1. F Secure (99.2%)
      2. Bitdefender & Symantec (99.1%)
      3. G Data (98.9%)
      4. Trend Micro & Panda (98.6%)
      5. Eset (98.2%)
      Using Norton 2012, very happy with it.

  • +2

    Awesome work, I was using the free version, now upgraded, cheers.

    • +1

      same. works!

  • Well I use MSE, k.i.s.s, more software you add the slower your system gets, why MS created an antivirus instead of just patching the security holes I'll never know, nor why the hell Windows defender keeps updating when I have MSE installed, damn forgot my Kubuntu CD at work!

    I'll be happy when MS releases Office and Apple iTunes for Linux, until then Im stuck with Windows

    • You shouldn't have two antiviruses running. Choose one and disable the others real time protection and only use it for on demand. Microsoft does patch security holes as soon as they are discovered. You think they like their os having viruses?

      • If MS did there wouldn't be a need for av software :-p and I didn't say anything about running multiple av soft, Windows defender comes standard with Windows 7

  • +1

    Thanks. Timely post, my license expired last week. Quick and easy. All I needed was to install the license and it automatically updated :)

  • +1

    A great find OP, thank you. I cannot fault Avast. I've tried a few other free anti-virus (AV) programs, and found that Avast did not slow my computer and, so far, had not given me any false alerts. Just remember that if you are downloading a new AV program, you will need to first uninstall the old AV program. I found the reviews on Cnet very helpful (link below). Thanks again, very happy.

    Yes Great!!!! Thanks OP for going to soooo much trouble. Safely installed (my AVG expired today!)

    :)

  • Has anyone else had issues with Windows Live mail since installing Avast? I can't compose or reply to messages anymre

  • is this internet security or just anti virus… cant seem to see firewall

  • Could be unrelated, but a restart after installing, I couldn't connect to the web anymore and I couldn't turn on Real Time protection. It was strange…

  • It's not working anymore? I can't get access to the license file

      For those wanting the license key (which was removed from the site)

      http://www.multiupload.com/CXTA5O2DCN

      They most likely got rid of the promotion already, so there's no guarantee that it may work. This was supposed to be only for the magazine subscribers anyway.

        Thanks can confirm it works!
        Just used it after I already had installed it the night before.
        Expiry 18/4/2012. Very happy.
        Thanks again.
