App Review Avast 8 Free Antivirus Beta (MrITReviews)

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

No idea why there were temp files as I did clear them. :-/

Also did a test on Avast 8 Beta, did not do the best, but who am I to say they can't improve on the Beta. :)

Enjoy.

No I can't find it either. Might not have got that far yet with the Beta.

Beta software is like an unfinished painting. Reserve all judgment until the finished product :)

True, you need to do that with all Beta software.

Whoa! Good to know that. I admire your reviews very much. You are the best reviewer on YouTube :D

Thank you very much, but I don't think that I'm the best. You have other good reviewers like; Biozfear, MalwareDoctor, Languy and that's to name a few.

I doubt it's a Beta version, probably an Alpha release (even with Beta label) -could be wrong.

On a side note, the pop-ups aren't as nice as before as seen in the video.

I still believe Haute Secure had the best design, before it was bought out and discontinued. SAD face.

Looking forward to see REVIEWS from a Public Beta.

Yeah. But most of those reviewers' reviews are too long. But yours are short and well organized and well edited. No offense to other reviewers :)

I have not ever cared much for previous versions of Avast, but seems to be much improvement in this one. Will have to keep an eye out for the final release to see where they have taken this product!
Nice Review McLovin!
