A great starting place to check for Compatibilities with Windows 8:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/Home

Else check the Developers website for more information, as well as Support Forums.

Yes, even Avast is there, but I see the forums swarming with BSODs or black screens ;)

I have tested both Avast free and Avast Internet Security and both ran fine on Widows 8 Pro/WMC 64 bit
