Free avast! 5 Chosen for Google Pack

As we get ready to launch our new Avast! Free Antivirus Version 5, we are proud to announce that Google has chosen this product for inclusion in Google Pack. Google Pack is a package of free software that Google assembles and distributes to its users around the world. Google Pack includes Avast for the following languages: French, German, Italian, Czech, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, and Polish.

The Avast Free Antivirus included in the Google Pack is the same as our regular Avast Free Antivirus. Following the philosophy of Google and Avast, the product is fully featured and does not constantly try to up-sell users to a premium product. The features of this product include:

1. Antivirus

2. Antispyware

3. Blocking of malicious websites

4. Blocking of hijacked or infected websites

5. Behavior blocking

6. Heuristics and signature detections

7. Scheduled, on-demand, and real time scanning

8. Gaming and full screen mode

In short, Avast Free Antivirus provides all of the protection most Internet users require. Install Google Pack with Avast Free Antivirus for any of these languages: French, German, Italian, Czech, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, and Polish.  To get google pack, just google “download google pack”.

      You can use the new product version and your license can be converted, so you will not lose anything.

      avast 5 free is free for all users, or only for home users?

      Dennis, updates are automatic. Open avast (click on the avast “blob” icon in the system tray) then click the maintenance tab. It will be obvious from there.

      Evem, no need to wait. GO to the home page and click on the banner for existing users. You can upgrade to the equivalent product for free.

      You write “we are proud to announce that Google has chosen this product for inclusion in Google Pack. Google Pack is a package of free software that Google assembles and distributes to its users around the world”

      I load “Google Pack is a package of free software” and i think is for all users, also commercial

      I load
      “For ordinary Internet use” and not for home non commercial use

      I like Avast! Way better than Norton or McAfee, which always slow your computer down.

      Avast.com has nothing to do with with elite Antivirus nor Amazon. You were tricked by scammers. Search the Avast for an Elite version.. Avast doesn’t have an Elite version.. Now search the internet.. there are fake versions called Elite antivirus.. You downloaded the wrong program. If I were you, I would download Avast antivirus free.. from this website and try out the real antivirus program. You will be happy with the real product. Every one of my family members and close friends use Avast, and we love it!

      Hi
      Avast should also develop similar or better software like ” http://www.ccleaner.com
      I am happy after installing free ”ccleaner” to clean my computer.
