After offering so many free AV downloads over the years, it appears that Avast has pretty much perfected the art of quick, intuitive installations.

During some industry testing avast! Pro Antivirus Version 7 Quick Scans took an average of 10 minutes, while full system scans clocked in at about 1 hour.
