Avast, one of the largest cybersecurity firms in the world has a wildly popular free antivirus software program and premium options for those who want more protection. The security suites it offers are usually highly evaluated in tests. However the company’s data logs and privacy policies may cause some people to reconsider.
Avast Premier is easy to use and comes with a fantastic set of features, including password manager and family safety tools. It also allows you to track all the applications installed in your PC. This is important since certain applications could be bloatware or slowing down your system. The suite may also make your PC cleaner and optimize it, enhancing its performance.
Its antiphishing technology is top-of-the-line. It can identify websites that could be phishing, without the necessity of an extension for your browser that you won’t find in any security suites. Its smart scanner can identify low-rated add-ons that you do not use and suggest removing.
Avast’s February 2022 Real World Protection Test scored six out six points in terms of performance and protection. This puts it on par with some of the best products available. It also protected against all zero-day malware exposures during the test and produced only one false positive.
Avast Premier is a good program, in many tests however, it’s not as effective in preventing targeted attacks as the top programs. Avast Premier’s performance may be affected by using other security programs in conjunction. It is also quite expensive in comparison to its competitors, with the current cost of $70 for a single device’s coverage year being more than Norton or McAfee.
