Avast is one of the most used antivirus in the world for two reasons, because it is free and because it has always been recognized as one of the best antivirus. The writer has always been an admirer of this antivirus, used free of charge by millions of users with Windows PCs to protect their computers from malware viruses and harmful threats.
Those who use Avast can now proceed to download a very important free update, called Avast Antivirus Nitro, in order to make the antivirus program lighter and, consequently, obtaining a significant improvement in computer performance.

According to what the Avast developers themselves write on the official blog of the program, Avast Antivirus with the Nitro Update has been designed to improve the speed, download time, boot time (11% faster) and system performance during use on Windows 10 (and also for Windows 7 and 8).
It is even described as lighter than Windows Defender, the antivirus integrated in Windows 10.
In other words, once you update Avast Antivirus to the new version which is called the Nitro Update, you should see a significant improvement in terms of system speed and performance.
The new version of Avast Antivirus becomes lighter, as it uses the cloud to detect and analyze threats (as Panda Antivirus has been doing for some time)
This simply means that Avast Antivirus uses less system resources than before and this should be clearly evident by the Windows task manager in memory usage.
The update also brings a technology called Cybercapture, which is described as much more powerful in identifying and responding to newer and unknown threats.
Being then optimized for Windows 10, I would say that both those who already use this program, and those who are looking for an antivirus to replace what they have, Avast is absolutely recommended on every new PC.
Download Avast Nitro Update to install it new or as an update.
