Avast 4 Home Edition review
I am puzzled by your review. I downloaded and installed Avast! 4.8 Free edtion a couple of weeks before I read your review and the interface looks nothing like the one in the screenshot accompanying the review. There is an example screenshot on the Avast! download page http://www.avast.com/en-gb/free-antivirus-download
. The Avast! software I am using is in my opinion straightforward to install, very easy to use and has minimal impact on the performance of the PC on which it is running.
