To help students going back to school, avast! antivirus is offering a great deal (for limited time) on their flagship professional antivirus products: avast! Pro Antivirus 5.0 and avast! 5.0 Internet Security
Two years for the price of one.
If you are a college student, you probably have a computer — and you probably need that computer to complete your class assignments.
As in the past, we do recommended Avast’s excellent free antivirus software — avast! Free Antivirus — to keep your computer safe.
Protect your computer for the years ahead
At the start of the new school year, it’s important to be sure that your computer is operating properly and is protected from viruses and malware.
It is never a “good time” to have your computer infected with the virus, but these disasters seem to occur at the worst possible time …like when you’re faced with important deadlines and don’t have time to deal with data recovery or troubleshooting.
There is no reason to ever have less protection than avast! Free Antivirus 5.0 — after all, it is completely free for personal use, and not limited to a short trial period like many professional-grade antivirus utilities.
However, despite the great protection provided by avast! Free Antivirus, you may want to get even more security when you take advantage of the special two-your offer before it expires.
- With a single purchase, you’ll be able to protect up to three computers in your household for two years
- If you are a heavy Internet user, like many college students, you may need the extra protection you get with the more advanced versions of avast!
- Both avast! Pro Antivirus 5.0 and avast! 5.0 Internet Security include protection against viruses and spyware, just like the free version of avast! … But they also include additional measures to protect you against suspicious websites or applications
A great new feature in both avast! Pro Antivirus 5.0 and avast! 5.0 Internet Security is the new avast! Sandbox.
Contain your risks with sandboxed web browsing
This is a feature not available in other antivirus programs.It “enables potentially exploitable programs (such as web browsers) and/or suspicious executables to be run in a safe, virtual environment.” The avast! Sandbox runs on both 32 and 64bit platforms.
If you’re a heavy Internet user, do any online banking, or pay bills online — or if you need to visit websites that you don’t completely trust — the sandbox technology alone can be worth the price of the entire product.
If you like the free version of avast! and have been thinking about upgrading, or if you’re in the market for a good antivirus/anti-spyware solution you can depend on, take advantage of this chance to get two years of protection for the price of one.
You’ll get the transparent, always-on protection that has made avast! the choice of over 100 million users —and earned top awards and recommendations everywhere: from CNET, to NotebookReview, to the AARP. Plus you’ll have the advanced features that provide a comprehensive defense against the latest Internet threats.
