Based on my personal and actual testing, Avast free antivirus is good on detecting viruses, worms, trojans and other malwares in your flash drives, computer, hard drive partitions and other portable devices. However, I am not impressed on how Avast free antivirus protect your online activity. It failed to detect some malicious websites and downloads. In fact, I found Google chrome security better.

All in all Avast free antivirus is good enough for home users who doesn’t do online transactions that involves banking, shopping and other transactions that may divulge privacy and other financial information.
