Avast Antivirus Protect Review

avast antivirus protection

Avast is a renowned name in the world of cybersecurity. It has a reputation for outstanding security for websites and malware detection as well as many other security options, including the boot-time scan as well as a virtual desktop. The product also works on various devices and offers the free VPN service.

It is available in three plan types namely Protection, Performance, and Privacy based on the number of devices you need 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 the systems we tested it on. This is an impressive feat, considering that the software detects more than 1.5 billion threats each month.

Another important aspect of the program is its fast boot-time scan, which scours your system for potentially harmful files prior to Windows even loads. It took less than an hour to run the entire scan on a computer that runs Windows 10.

The Avast product also has many other security tools that are designed to safeguard your data. Its Sensitive Document Shield can detect sensitive documents such as www.binghamtoninternationalblog.com/how-to-watch-hbo-max-outside-the-us tickets resumes, and invoices. It did not detect any sensitive documents however, on the PC that I tested it on.

Avast’s email guardian can also look over your account for suspicious attachments and phishing links. It also provides a feature known as Bank Mode that provides a virtual desktop, which is safe from keystroke recording, screenshot attempts as well as other malicious applications. Avast’s privacy policies are also excellent. The company claims it only collects data that is necessary for protection and its analytics company Jumpshot does not sell the data to large corporations once it has been “de-identified.”
