Avast released a new update this week to their free, very good, antivirus program. It looks different – instead of a blue ball as the icon (on the desktop and in the tray at the bottom right) it’s orange, with a white more stylized “a” on it. And the voice that talks to you, reporting that “The antivirus database has been updated” has changed from male to female. Go ahead and get the updated install file at http://www.filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/ – click on “Download latest version” on the upper right of the page.
As always, if you have questions, or need help with this or any other issue, contact us.
