Thanks for the useful list of software.
Philip, here's the direct link:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
You just need to register with a valid e-mail address to get a free serial number from Avast directly. You use this serial number to make the free trial version, permanently free. That's a lot of "frees"

Perfect!
