Avast Antivirus Free Download Windows Vista 32 Bit
Leida Gamage
avast! 5.0 is a free antivirus program available for Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. It is a fairly full featured virus scanner similar to AVG free. Some of its key features are:
Perhaps one of the coolest features of avast! Antivirus is the screensaver virus scanning. You simply go into Windows' screen saver settings and choose avast! antivirus from the list of screen savers. Then, when you are away from your computer and the screen saver activates, avast! will scan the system for virus infections.
I am also using Windows Vista on several computers due to the fact that special software is installed. For example statistical software (e.g. Minitab) whose license is binded to the hardware where the software has been installed. These software packages cannot be transferred to another computer because license conditions do not allow this. An update of the windows vista to 7 or higher will cause problems, because software (e.g. Minitab) developed for Vista will not work on Windows 7 or higher. Error messages or program shut downs occur. The reinvest costs for new software is in the range of appox. 2.000 Euros or more for the statistical software. So you probably can get an impression of why I need to maintain the older windows version.
Period of support is e.g. 2 years. Reinstallation is possible only during this period on a comparable windows vista environment. But if your software is out of support (after 2 years), the software may not be reinstalled any longer. Due to the fact that statistical software does not change its internal mathematical routines and procedures but only gets some minor impovements regarding graphical presentation facilities, you can use these software packages for many years.
on my computer and so far it did a pretty decent job. However, recently I decided to go all in and upgrade to a paid antivirus which could provide more security. I also decided to switch from Avast to a new one. This meant I had to completely uninstall avast! from my PC first.
