Avast Antivirus Protect Review

avast antivirus protection

Avast is a renowned name in the world of cybersecurity. It is renowned for its superior malware detection, web security and other security features such as the boot-time scanner and a virtual desktop. The negotiating deal terms product is also compatible with many devices, and includes a free VPN.

There are three different plans to choose from, based on how many devices you want to cover. In addition to PCs, it is installed on Mac and Android devices.

In our tests, Avast identified every single piece of malware on all of the systems we tested it on. This is a remarkable feat, considering that the software detects over 1.5 billion threats each month.

The software’s speedy boot-time scan is a different feature. It checks your system for potentially dangerous files prior to Windows starts. It took less than an hour to run the complete scan on a computer that runs Windows 10.

The Avast product also includes a host of other security tools that are designed to protect your data. Its Sensitive Document Shield can identify sensitive documents such as tickets, invoices, and resumes. It did not detect any sensitive files, however, on the PC I tried it on.

Avast also offers an email Guardian tool, which scans your email account for suspicious attachments and phishing links. It also offers a feature dubbed Bank Mode, which provides an online desktop that is protected against keystroke loggers and screenshot attempts by third-party software. Avast has a solid privacy policy. The company claims it only collects information that is needed to protect, and its analytics business Jumpshot only sells the data to large corporations once it has been “de-identified.”
