Is this new version free? I am using Avast free version 4.?

Just downloaded new free version and it is nice...Thanks for the link!

Yes, as you found out, it's free.

They've changed the name of Avast Home Edition in version 4, to Avast Free Antivirus in version 5 to make it more obvious that's it's free.

I downloaded Avast Free AV 5 over Avast Home Edition and it picked up my registration key. I don't have to wait 30 days for trial to run out and have them send me the key. I am good to go thru 2011. So thanks again and have a nice week-end!

Do you use Avast?
Since downloading the new Avast Free Version 5 my system has crashed 7 times in the last 3 days. Was told to go to Windows and look for minidump files. Sure enough there were 2 on 24, 2 on the 25th, 2 on the 26th and one today.
Are these crashes due from Avast?

I haven't had any problems with it.
