App Review Avast Free Antivirus 2015 Final Test (MalwareDoctor)

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

Very good review!!!
I couldn't expect any better from Avast....deep screen is still allow everything and some files even if Avast web protection seems to block them, they still can run...Overall is a good product but there are better alternatives on the market now.

You will have to do another test tomorrow....................... VLK has stated on avast forums that all detections go live tomorrow they are still working on it. Deepscreen is not fully up to par.

My honest opinion is that Avast should not have released a finalized product that is not fully developed (I downloaded the tested version directly from Avast's homepage). If people are paying for/ using their software there should not be any excuses when it comes to a beta-like product being marketed as a final release. Why would they be admitting to subpar protection for a product that is supposed to be already the latest and greatest? I don't accept that as a valid excuse.
