During the launch of avast! 2014 in October, CEO Vincent Steckler told a group of international journalists, “On all the download sites around the world, this year, through the end of September, we have 143 million downloads. That’s the most downloaded product – period.”
After a few more months, the highest profile download site, CNET’s download.com, confirmed that statement with an article, Top downloads of 2013, which proclaimed that avast! Free Antivirus was their most popular app for 2013, with more than 53 million downloads for Windows and nearly 1 million for Mac.
You can download files from download.com’s software, mobile, and game libraries choosing from more than 150,000 titles. Downloads are rated by registered users, as well as reviewed by editors. The editors awarded avast! Free Antivirus 2014 four and half stars.
This year’s Avast release has distinguished itself as not just a malware or antivirus solution, but also as a full-on security monitor for your machine. It comes with great design, displaying a lot of information yet maintaining a high usability factor for the core feature of virus removal and malware scanning. ~CNET Editors’ review
