Avast antivirus offers a comprehensive range of features included in a simple package. In my testing the malware engine got an excellent score. Its web security was also effective in catching phishing websites that slipped past the default detection capabilities of both Firefox and Chrome systems. The performance scanner performed admirably in keeping its impact on system’s performance to a minimum. Avast’s performance scan was more effective than any other software in cutting down on CPU usage.
In addition to the malware protection and performance scan, Avast offers a host of other tools. Avast One is the only one that has the VPN as well as photo vaults, and an instrument for monitoring data breaches. The security toolkit also has the sandbox to run applications and a scanner for routers to check for vulnerabilities.
If you encounter issues, the Avast support website offers a comprehensive knowledge base. Its search function allows you to locate answers to frequently asked questions. If you can’t find the answer, Avast’s forum is a great source to seek help from other users.
Avast might claim that it does not sell data regarding its users, but the history of this practice is popular in many people’s minds. PCMag and Motherboard reported in January 2020 that Avast had sold personal information as well as location data of its users via its Jumpshot subsidiary. Avast has stopped this practice and asks for users to opt in during the installation of its antivirus software for desktops. The privacy policy of the company says that information about consumers is “stripped and separated from its owner” before being shared with third parties.
