    Put "Avast free" into Google and you'll land here.

    And yes, it is free!

    I notice theyve changed some of the wording in that article now, particularly when it USED to say Avira used more resources than AVG and AVAST.

    The articles are live and are always being updated/improved upon. Which certainly makes sense in the computing world where software changes and apps disappear, fall out of favour, new ones introduced etc. I'd be a bit worried if the articles weren't being changed at all.

    Why not contact/post on the thread to have it amended? I've done so in the past on other articles and had my suggestions added etc.
