Avast! Home Edition is one of the most popular free antiviruses on the market today. Many people debate whether it is better than Avira or AVG Free (less about AVG Free these days). The important thing to take from this part of the Faster 7 series is that Avast is a powerful free antivirus that will protect your computer adequately. With all of the freeware versions of software out, there is no reason to purchase an antivirus when you are using it for personal (rather than commercial) use.

Install Avast! Home Edition on Windows 7:

1. Download Avast! Home Edition through the following link: http://pcmichiana.com/category/free-software-downloads/antivirus-software/avast-home-edition/

2. Click ‘Run’ to run the installer.

3. Make sure to agree to the terms of service.

4. That’s it!

Installing Avast is just like installing any other piece of antivirus or regular software you have installed before.  This software will protect you from viruses, but we will be going over a different piece of software in the upcoming videos which will show you how to remove spyware and adware from your machine.  Stay tuned!
