avast antivirus protect

Avast is a big name in the field of cybersecurity. It is known for superior security and malware detection and offers a wide range of other security options, including a boot-time scan and a virtual desktop. It is also compatible with various devices and offers the free VPN service.

There are three plans available depending on how many devices you wish to cover. It can also be installed on Macs and Android devices.

During our tests Avast detected every single bit of malware on all the systems we tested it on. This is a remarkable feat given that the software detects more than 1.5 billion threats every month.

The software’s speedy boot-time scanning is another feature worth mentioning. It examines your system for potentially dangerous files before Windows what is voip starts. During my tests I was able to take less than an hour to run the entire scan on a typical PC with Windows 10.

The Avast product also has many other security tools aimed at protecting your data. Its Sensitive Document Shield can be used to identify sensitive documents such as invoices, tickets, and resumes. It did not find any sensitive files on the PC I tested it on. However, it did detect sensitive documents.

Avast also has an email Guardian, which can scan your email account for suspicious attachments and phishing hyperlinks. Avast also has a feature called Bank Mode that provides a virtual desktop that is protected from keystroke screen capture attempts, loggers and other malicious applications. Avast’s privacy guidelines are good. The company claims to only collect information that is needed for protection. The analytics business Jumpshot sells data only after it has been removed from the database.
