Installation Yes, Avast is indeed free, but you must register it after 60 days if you want to continue using the program. is free, and the license that you receive will be valid for one year. After that, you must register again. Get the idea?

Installation is easy and requires a reboot when finished. After the reboot, you will notice two blue icons in your system tray one for the on-access scanner and one for the Virus Recovery Database (VRDB).

Essentially, the VRDB stores information about the current state of your files. In case of an infection, the VRDB can help restore clean versions of them. By default, the VRDB only generates while the computer is idle, so it doesn t hurt system performance to leave it enabled. If you want to hide the VRDB icon, just right-click it and choose to merge it with the main Avast icon.
