NOTE

If you already have Avast installed, then you can run the Program Update option to update to the new version instead.

Updates:
avast! 4 Home/Professional Revision History

improvements in some unpackers (WinExec, SFX CAB, LHARC, ZOO)
check for critical system files is now performed even in the on-access scanner (as a prevention of false positives)
command line scanner (ashCmd.exe): fixed displaying of directory count
Windows Vista: during a scan of system drive, duplicate entries are now handled correctly (symlinks)
Explorer extension process (ashQuick.exe) now ends immediately after aborting a scan
fixed a bug in SMTP alerts (adding of random characters to the address)
verification of digital signatures now fixed even for the on-access scanner (Windows Vista and Windows XP x64)
fixed the setting to disable checking of infected files during on-demand scans
Enhanced UI: it is no longer possible to delete a default task by using the Delete key
solved a synchronization problem that could potentially lead even to a hang of an avast component (e.g. the Outlook plugin)
Windows Vista SP1: solved an issue in the kernel driver aswSP.sys (problems during system shutdown)
added a workaround to a compatibility problem with NComputing NCT
Standard Shield: improved handling of exceptions
improvements in the rootkit submission system
mail scanner: fixes in IMAP handler (Thunderbird)

Enjoy,
Shawn

installed it on my xp box and had to be removed via safe mode and system restore, excellent protection as could not use the net or browse any folders, wiped it and installed comodo AV as wanted the licence from Nod32 for the xp box

no 3rd party firewall or suite due to lagging games too badly, using a decent netgear router

Been using Avast since AVG failed me miserably. Best AV program I've ever used and glad to see them add anti-spyware and anti-rootkit to the FREE program.
