When millions and millions of people flock to use a software application, it is a pretty big clue that the application in question is a properly good one. Based on that line of reasoning, we can safely say that AVAST Software, the Prague-based company that specializes in the development of security software solutions for Windows, Mac and Linux, definitely has a popular product on its hands.

The 150 millionth registered user is a woman; she won an all expenses paid trip to Prague for two (this means airplane tickets and hotel accommodation) and $2,000 spending money. $2K may not seem like much in the US, but it’s definitely a big amount by Prague standards.
In related news, the latest version of AVAST Software’s free antivirus product is Avast! Free Antivirus 6.0. When it was released to the public, that was late last month, AVAST software said that vast! Free Antivirus 6.0 is “leaner and meaner” than its predecessor.
