Install Avast! Home Edition on Windows 7:
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.
1. Download Avast! Home Edition through the following link:

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!
Optimize, Scan and Register Avast! Free Antivirus
Avast! Free Antivirus is one of the most popular anti-viruses on the market today. Remember, that just because it is one of the most popular it doesn’t mean it is the “best”. I make assumptions when walking users through these videos – one of them being that they would prefer ease of use and less intrusiveness over a little bit better protection. Avast! Free Antivirus’ settings can be modified to give very few instructions or intrusiveness.
Scanning and Registering Avast! Free Antivirus is extremely easy. Many people get intimidated by the word “Register” because they think there will be credit cards and authenticity required. The Avast software only requires that you enter your Name and E-mail address… that’s it! You don’t even need to go to your e-mail and grab a CD-Key when it is done, it registers on its own.
