Start date Jul 25, 2014

Product name: Avast Free Antivirus 2014 with Windows Firewall

Pros

• Nice and Easy Interface

• Low Ram Usage

• Good Web Blocker

• Good Detection Rate against 500 Files

• Amazing Zero Day Protection

• Fast Scanning and Removal

• Light on System

CONS: • None

BOTTOM LINE: According to my testing’s, Avast Free Antivirus 2014 has done a great job protecting me. I honestly thought by enabling “Hardened Mode” that it would block everything I execute, but it only blocked 1 file when executing left over malware files in the malware pack. In fact, I tested it out by executing safe files like vlc media player, Slim Cleaner, Firefox, Skype, and Ashampoo WinOptimizer Free and the good news is that Avast with “Hardened Mode” enabled at “Moderate” did not block any of them. When you have “Hardened Mode” enabled at “Moderate,” you will have better protection with Avast without blocking safe applications from installing. I highly recommend Avast Free Antivirus 2014 with “Hardened Mode” enabled at “Moderate.”

avast with moderate hardened mode enabled can offer top protection, I have done many tests with it and it proved very successful.
