For 2014, avast! has focused on performance for both virus detection, scan speeds, and memory use. The installation file takes up half the space of last year’s, making avast! much less resource hungry than the 2013 version.

The most notable change is in avast!’s interface. Different sections of the program have been moved to the left in a column with icons to access all the different features.
