Title: Avast
Post by: Tina on Aug 12, 2011, 14:01:37
I use the free version of Avast and it's all I use. It's now asking me to register  to keep the free version, or buy it for £20. Will the free version give me everything I need, or will I be better of buying it.

Thanks :)

The free version is absolutely fine, although I would try Microsoft security essentials instead.

Disconnect from the web while you do it.
