Grisoft, makers of the security suite Avast whose most common version is the free version, that it is now possible to try the new beta version of Avast Antivirus Free 5.0. A fifth version of the free antivirus unveiled this summer and should arrive in the final weeks. This new beta version is an excellent way to get advance notice of changes by Alwil since version 4.

Namely that the paid version of Avast is also available free in beta, has always wanted its products in development are available to people in order to collect a maximum of user feedback.

However, Grisoft does not recommend using these versions not finalized as the main protection devices because they can be unstable and that all functions are not implemented, particularly at the firewall.
