Let us see the Avast Free Antivirus 2015 Review in Detail.
Smart Scan: Excellent Defense Tool
The new 2015 version is enabled with Smart scan feature which always make sure that your network connectivity, harddisk, system files, browser and pc performance is in good condition and free from vulnerabilities. I like the Home network security scan which scans the network and router for finding any attacks on it. It helps me to stay away from virus attacks through online.You can enable the Smart scan by clicking on the “Scan” side button on avast antivirus interface and select the “Smart Scan”. Then it automatically scans for viruses, browser cleanup, software updater and home network security issues. After completing the scan it finds almost all issues such as virus attacks, malwares, browser junky add-ons, outdated software’s and network issues. To solve these problems you need to click on the “Resolve all” button and avast will takes care of your manual job for free. That is why I’m called excellent defense tool from the attacks.
Secure your PC while Online
The Avast free antivirus 2015 version have improved online console which only allows the trusted websites for browsing. It can bet easily installed on any windows pc and connect with your web browser. I also using new Mozilla Firefox v37 and while installing the Avast 2015; it asks for install avast plugin to browser. It really helpful plugin to find the trusted sites and get free from the phishing and malware attacks through online.Another cool feature is SecureLine VPN which enables to stay away from hackers. You know that our online activities are always monitored by some people called hackers. They can enter our computer through certain malware programs, spam emails, unauthorized phone calls etc. The SecureLine VPN helps to hide our online activities from them by changing your location and IP address time by time. It uses the military grade encryption to protect your communication data. But the disappointing thing with free version of avast antivirus 2015 are that SecureLine VPN is only available for 7 day free trial. After that you need to pay some bucks for continuing the feature.
Simple UI and Easy Installation
The user interface is very simple and even an amateur guy can operate the free antivirus tool without any problems. The main buttons like Overview, Scan, Tools, Store, Settings etc are arranged on the left sidebar and right space is used to show the each sidebar option expansion. It is very easy to install, have both online and offline installation available. For installing the free version you can download the avast antivirus 2015 setup file from the official web site or any other windows software websites and double click mouse button to open it. Make sure you are connected with internet. It will automatically download the software installation file and installing on it. You need to agree the software license terms only.The Pros

Overall
Avast Free antivirus 2015 is one of the best antivirus with very big virus definition and security features. The Smart scan feature enables to prevent your computer from virus attacks and malwares. The speed of monitoring is excellent and avast virus engine do well for their jobs. But like its name not all the security features are free of cost. The SecureLine VPN provides online security for 7 day trial and after that need to pay for the continuing the protection. The remote assistance feature works only with Avast premier version and need to upgrade by spending few dollars to make it Avast Premier 2015 to enables the full protection features such as Sandbox, SafeZone, Avast firewall and remote assistance.Avast Free Antivirus 2015 System Requirements
