The current product's main window could hardly look more different from the 2016 edition. That edition featured a mostly white main window with some orange shapes lurking in the corners and a menu of icons across the top.

The current product's main window is dark grey, with a menu down the left side. In addition to the main Status page, you can use the menu to select Protection, Privacy, or Performance. These pages include icons for all the features found in Avast's product line, with a padlock icon for those not available in the free antivirus. During installation, Avast offers to install Google Chrome and to install the Google Toolbar in your other browsers. Unless you opt out, the toolbar makes Google your default search engine, but it doesn't take over your home page.

The installer also presents a full page devoted to explaining how Avast uses your nonpersonal data, and how you can opt out if you wish. One of this edition's new features needs special mention, because it's virtually invisible.

If you install another antivirus with Avast already on the system, it automatically goes into Passive Mode. To avoid conflicts, it disables all real-time scanning and other active protection. You can still launch scans manually. There's precedent for this behavior— does something similar. Good Lab Results All of the independent testing labs that I follow include Avast in their testing and reporting. In addition, Avast received checkmark certification from West Coast Labs. I don't give as much weight to certifications, because part of the service an antivirus vendor pays for is help with any problems that prevented certification.

Even so, having a certification is a plus. Avast also earned an above-average score in the RAP (Reactive and Proactive) test by Virus Bulletin. The analysts at perform a variety of security tests, of which I follow four. Products that achieve the necessary minimum scores receive a Standard rating, while those that show advanced features and capabilities can rate Advanced or Advanced+. Out of the four tests, Avast received two Advanced+ and two Advanced ratings. That's quite good, but Bitdefender,, and Kaspersky took Advanced+ in all four tests. Rates antivirus products on three criteria: protection, performance, and usability (where usability means few false positives).

A product can earn six points for each. Avast earned that six points in protection and usability, but it fell down in the performance category, earning just 3.5 points.

Its total score of 15.5 isn't terrible, but many have done better. Kaspersky earned a perfect 18 points, while Bitdefender and took 17.5. Trying to come as close as possible to real-world conditions, the experts at capture drive-by downloads and other web-based attacks and use a replay system to hit each tested product with the exact same attack. The very best products receive AAA certification; others may be certified at the AA, A, B, or C level. Like AVG, Avast received AA certification. Of the antivirus products I track, only Avast, AVG, ESET NOD32 Antivirus 10, and appear in the results from all five labs. Avast's aggregate score of 8.7 points (from a possible 10) is quite good, even better than AVG's 8.4 points.

Kaspersky leads the pack, with an aggregate score of 9.8 points, with Norton just a tenth of a point behind. Third place, at 9.5 points, belongs to Avira. Very Good Malware Protection To get a feel for each product's handling of actual malware, I use a collection of malware samples that I gather myself. Some products start wiping out samples the moment I open the folder that contains them. Others wait until I select the sample. Like AVG,, and a few others, Avast doesn't run its real-time scan until just before a process is about to launch.
