   Reviewing 5.0.188 Beta (Oct 24, 2009)

   Dont get mislead by this skin, it isn't even the skin that you will see after installing the software of avast! Recommended for newbies that don't want to pay for antivirus software and want a reasonable protection, well this the one!! Get it, its free and in : About Avast.. you can send in for a new yearkey after 365 days.
   Comparing to Avira that is only 1 computer on ip for personal free use avast! can run on every pc on 1 ipadres, that is something to remind you when you are choosing! The only thing that is annoying me is that it's blocks downloading rar/zip files with a virus like crack.exe when I can make myself the right decission not to open that .exe file. Avira doesn't block downloading and isn't looking into those specific rar/zip files.

   I agree AntiVir is a 5 and avast is a 1 star

   Reviewing 5.0.167 Beta (Oct 15, 2009)

   I just hope that besides the really important improvements, it gets a decent skin and doesn't ask for money for it.

   WOW very nice interface and extensive activity information with a graph of shield traffic for each separate component and history graphs by http://www.amcharts.com/. The user may chose simple controls and settings or expert level interaction. The interface default is quite nice. I have not tried any skins yet. I don't usually use them.
   OK UPDATE

   Sorry to say... but avast 5 won't be skinable and your skin couldn't be used with it...
   avast 4, otherwise, will be available to update for more one year.
