Avast Service Review

Avast is among the most well-known brands in antivirus software, with its free program providing a solid foundation of protection against malware. The paid versions, particularly Avast Premium Security, provide several additional features to ensure your device is secure. This includes a VPN, Wi-Fi Inspector, and more. Avast is one of the top products in this category by AV-Comparatives RealWorld Protection Test.

Avast detected a range of threats quickly and efficiently during our tests. The scan was completed in 6 minutes 50 seconds, which is impressive considering that it was able to scan more than 2 million files.

Avast’s tendency to label certain programs malicious was not what we browse around this website expected. In our tests the program flagged legitimate programs five times in system scans on Windows, a figure that is two more than the industry standard. The positive side is that this is a rare event, and you can easily send a file for analysis to resolve the issue should Avast mistakenly flags it.

Avast offers a solid knowledge base offering assistance for common problems as well as direct email and phone support options available. Those looking for an extra level of security can choose the paid subscription option, which provides parental and password management controls to the program. Avast offers a 30-day refund guarantee on its paid services.
