KB20141022 Uninstall avast Free Antivirus 2015



According to Mike Williams' post at the popular download site DownloadCrew.com, the #1 antivirus vendor AVAST has just announced its the long-awaited 2015 version of security software, including the main brand avast! Free Antivirus 2015 here, the new Internet security suite (v10.0.2206) and avast! Premier v2015. That article strikes us that we too need to take a closer look at the new release of avast 2015 programs. Yes, there are few significant changes in the user interface, but there are some new functional improvements and features (e.g., Smart Scan, DeepScan, etc) in the mentioned solutions. Meantime, as a a software engineer, I have the passion and enthusiasm to test today's target program, avast! Free Antivirus 2015: the setup file by default recommended the optional yet potentially unneeded DropBox to me -- if you wish to run or keep your browser toolbar-free, you should clear that option for installing Google Toolbar when it comes to you.
