Avast Ultimate Review

Avast Ultimate is a security application that has an excellent detection rate and numerous additional features. Its malware scanner earned www.greenenergyfun.com/avast-ultimate an excellent score in my tests and its web protection blocked a variety of phishing websites that slipped past Chrome and Firefox’s default security features. Other features include the Rescue Disk, a secure browser for online shopping and banking, advanced tracker blocking, and a VPN.

The interface for users of the suite is simple to navigate. The main screen displays a list of its key tools with clear icons that explain their purpose. Avast employs an orange, blue and white color scheme that is pleasing to the eye and easy to read.

You can find detailed controls for each tool in the Explore menu. This includes custom scans as well as boot time scanning and an automatic updater. You can also save specific kind of scan in the “Scan Center” so that you can run it again at a later date.

One of the most advanced features, Avast’s antivirus can help prevent ransomware attacks by monitoring your system for suspicious activity and encrypting any files that may be targeted. It can detect trojan horses (malicious programs disguised as legitimate software and infiltrate your computer) and stop them from running.

Avast’s security products are backed by 24/7 live chat, email and telephone support. The free versions of Avast are supported by a large knowledge base and community. Paid plans come with advanced features, such as identity protection, USB protection, patch management, and unlimited VPN.
