This article aims to teach a user How To Install Avast Free Antivirus On Windows 8 using Avast Antivirus Free Edition. The Avast software package has been around for nearly a decade. I have been recommending it almost as long as it has been around.

It’s important for me to note that it’s extremely important not to install multiple antivirus software packages that contain real time scanning engines. So make sure to uninstall any antivirus software you might have before installing this one.

Avast Free Edition is a standalone antivirus package that includes a real time scanning engine. It also supports excellent built in features such as “gaming / silent mode”, which allows it to run silently in the background with very little to no intrusion into your daily tasks.

Avast Free Edition is not the only great free antivirus package out there – it’s just one of many. If you’re not sure if learning How To Install Avast Free Antivirus On Windows 8 is right for you make sure to do some research to find out what best fits your needs.

A Warning Against Multiple Antivirus Software Packages

It’s important for me to note that it’s extremely important not to install multiple antivirus software packages that contain real time scanning engines. So make sure to uninstall any antivirus software you might have before installing this one.

Very often installation of multiple antivirus software packages with real time scanners can cripple or slow down computers.

The primary reasons for my recommendation of Avast Free Antivirus are:

  • It is completely free for personal use
  • To this day, it still earned the 2018 award of excellence for their antivirus software package through AV Comparatives.
  • The free edition has a real time scanner to catch viruses as they come in.
  • It pairs well with software packages such as Malwarebytes Antimalware Free edition to double team potential threats.
