Avast is a renowned name in the world of cybersecurity. It is renowned for high-quality malware detection and web protection and offers numerous additional security features like an automatic boot-time scan and virtual desktop. It is also compatible with several devices and comes with an unpaid VPN service.

It is available in three different plan types namely Protection, Performance and Privacy – based on the number of devices you need to cover. It can also be installed www.binghamtoninternationalblog.com/how-board-portals-can-help-you-in-fundraising-management-process on Macs as well as Android devices.

During our tests Avast identified every single piece of malware on all of the systems we tested it on. This is a feat of excellence considering that the software detects more than 1.5 billion threats every month.

Another major feature of the software is its speedy boot-time scanning, which scours your system for potentially harmful files before Windows even starts. As I tested it I was able to take less than an hour to complete the entire scan on a regular PC running Windows 10.

The Avast product also has many other security tools focused on protecting your information. Its Sensitive Document Shield can identify sensitive documents such as tickets, invoices, and resumes. It was unable to detect any sensitive documents, however, on the PC I tested it on.

Avast’s email security guardian can look over your account for suspicious attachments or phishing links. There is also a feature known as Bank Mode, which provides the user with a virtual desktop protected against keystroke loggers and screenshot attempts made by third-party apps. Avast has a solid privacy policy. The company claims to only collect information that is needed for protection. The company’s analytics business Jumpshot sells information only after it has been removed from the database.
