Today Avast has released the beta version of their upcoming Avast 5 Free Antivirus software for testing purpose only. The full version is expected to hit in October, there is no word if it will be released before or after Windows 7 launch.
Update: Avast 5 has been released and can be downloaded here.
There are quite some noticeable changes, the whole interface has been revamped and now makes navigation much more easier. Apart from the default Virus scanning feature, it contains Real-Time Shields, which are, File Shield, Mail Shield, Web Shield, P2P Shield, IM Shield, Network Shield, and Behavior Shield.
There are few useful scan options by default that allows users to quickly start a virus scan, they are Quick Scan, Full System Scan, Removable Media Scan, and Select Folder to Scan. And if this is not enough, there is also an option to create a custom scan.
If you are looking for a new antivirus software to replace your existing antivirus, then the time for Avast 5 Free Antivirus is not ripe yet. You will have to wait till October for the full version, in the meanwhile you can stick with your existing antivirus.
Note: This is the beta software which means that it is available for those only users who would like to test it out. It does not provide full protection because the virus definition updates are not up-to-date in this beta version.

Type your comment here.i want a new avast antivirus
Got a couple of questions. When free-Avast5 first installed and did its initial full system scan, got the message “some files could not be scanned.” When I looked up these files they were avast definition files. Well, I wrote them down and tried to search computer with internet explorer so that I might manually scan them and found that the files had changed slightly. There was this 8 digit number after defs——– and it was a completely different number. Did Avast change this? And the mail shield doesn't always stay on at startup. Sometimes have to turn it back on. Is this something that should be a concern? Other than that, LOVE it! Thank you.
I have used norton and eset and both proved no match for Avast.i’m currently using Avast5 and it don’t miss a thing.
avast is the best antivirus for general users……..!!!!!!
i like avast5 because it detect autorun the dengeruse usb virus…………!!!!!!!!!!!1

[...] Siis voin sanoa, että ainakin täällä tuo toimii oikein hyvin molemmissa tietokoneissa. Viruspäivityksiä ei näköjään tule tai no ei se ainakaan suostu päivittämään itsensä eli vakiokoneeseen ei ole kylläkään suositeltava. Latasin kuitenkin tiedostaen kaikki riskit ja hyvin kannattavaa oli. Toistaiseksi on englanniksi koko ohjelma ja ainakaan minulla ei ollut vaikeuksia sen kanssa. Toiminnallisuutta on paljon ja ennen kaikkea suuret plussat saa hieno ulkoasu, joka on myös erittäin selkeä. Avast tarkistaa koko tietokoneen viruksilta parhaimmillaan muutamassa minuutissa luotettavasti tarkastusnopeuden ollessa noin 100 megatavua sekunnissa ainakin täällä teho-Acerissa. Hienolta vaikuttaa ja nyt voi jopa tehdä itse säädetyn skannauksen ja tallentaa sen myöhempää käyttöä varten. Lue kiinnostava Avast-esittelyartikkeli kuvineen täältä. [...]
