I can’t say much about Avast 5 detection rate, but the amount of features packed into this free edition is impressive. It comes with an impressive anti-spyware engine and real time anti-rootkit protection. Something you don’t see often in every free antivirus.
But changes in Avast 5 are not limited to the interface and the program’s layout, it has lots of bells and whistles under the hood. Not a big surprise because it has been many years since the release of avast 4, the huge gap meant they are technologically behind many other free antivirus until avast 5.

Some of the core technology that goes into avast 5:
- Antivirus and anti-spyware
- Ensures all mails sent and received are clean
- Keeps you protected from “chat” infections
- Stops attacks from hijacked websites
- Multi-threaded scanning optimization
- Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7
- New user interface

Gamers might find the Silent/Gaming mode very useful, most gamers I know tend to disable their antivirus to get the best out of the CPU, avast 5 on the other hand automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other on-screen notifications without degrading security.
