Avast is among the most popular antivirus suites in the world. It’s a cost-effective and powerful internet security software that offers top-quality protection against online threats. It scans all of your devices and protects your webcam. It also stops suspicious downloads. It also has a virtual private network, anti-theft features and an advanced firewall that monitors data coming in and going out.
Its malware detection rate is among the best in the industry, and it does not have any impact on the performance of computers. In our performance tests it scored an average of 5.95 out of 6. This makes it a good choice for people who want strong protection but not sacrifice speed.
In our tests the program was able to detect and remove all of the test samples we tossed at it. Its complete scan was fast, too and took less than 60 minutes -much quicker than other competitors, which often take around an hour or more.
The user interface of Avast is clean and sleek, with blue tones and orange accents (a reference to the logo of the company). The program has brief explanations that are a part of all its features, meaning you won’t be left wondering what a feature does or how it operates. It also comes with a search tool so you do not need to spend time searching for specific settings or tools. If you purchase the Premium or Ultimate versions of the software will get additional features, like an inspector for Wi-Fi that scans for vulnerabilities on your network.
