Avast products are highly popular when it comes to cybersecurity. They have consistently scored well in independent tests and reliably remove a wide range of threats. However, a series of sour incidents has left some experts questioning the company’s reputation.
The free version of avast’s antivirus protection provides basic malware detection and removal and real-time protection that runs in the background to shield you from known threats. The premium versions come with various bells and whistles including the ability to sandbox potentially dangerous files, as well as a WiFi Inspection tool which scans your network.
The intuitive interface of Avast makes it easy to access all the tools you require. The three tabs (Protection Privacy and Performance) let you run different virus scans, and also disable or enable real-time protections. In addition, the settings menu lets you check on quarantined files and change your firewall’s settings, or create a Sandbox.
Another interesting feature is Sensitive Data Shield, which will improve security by stopping hackers from accessing sensitive files on your computer. It didn’t find anything in our tests, however it may be useful for users who wish to take extra precautions.
All paid plans offered by Avast are covered by a 30 days money back guarantee. Enterprise and business users can also purchase additional features to increase the number of devices secured such as the rescue disk, a secure browser and data breach monitoring and tools for optimizing the system.
