This is our new flagship product and replaces Avast Home Edition (we changed the name to emphasize the product is free). For details, see the product detail pages on the new website. All-in-all we think they are a vast improvement from the current products-modern, light, fast, and very effective. Some are not obvious at all (such as the new scanning engine). Some of the changes-such as the new user interface-are obvious. These products are not minor updates from the existing products. And it is still free and free from annoying pop-ups and requests for money. As you read through our new website and launch information, you will see that not only is the new free product easier to use and more visually appealing than the old product, it provides even more security protection. This philosophy has enabled us to achieve 100 million users and we are continuing it. Even though we have expanded our product portfolio, our philosophy of having and promoting a top-notch free antivirus is paramount. Three products (Free Antivirus, Pro Antivirus, and Internet Security) and a new website are being released today. Other languages will then be added as we have them available. Over the next 10 days or so, we will be releasing the products and website in additional languages (German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, and possibly Korean, and Arabic). Today we will be releasing the new products (and the new website) in English and French. This is a pretty complicated roll-out so we are staging it. Today is the big day-the day we (and many of you) have been waiting for-we are starting the release of the Version 5.0 products today.
