Avast, a major cybersecurity company, is known for its free antivirus software. It has many features and is highly effective against malware. The company also makes premium software that gives you additional protection such as the VPN and password manager. Which plan is the best one for you? This article examines Avast’s premium and free plans to determine which is the best option for you.
Avast’s powerful anti-malware engine has 100% detection rate in my tests. Its web security is also extremely effective — it caught phishing websites that slipped through Chrome and Firefox default security. The advanced anti-tracking feature and other tools are also helpful. Sandboxes and file reputation scans help you navigate through suspicious documents with confidence.
Avast has a simple UI, but its practices for sharing data and the absence of parental controls are among the drawbacks. Fortunately Avast has a good refund policy.
Avast offers three subscription plans which include Basic, Premium, and Ultimate. The Premium package includes the sandbox that allows you to run suspicious files, and the Ultimate version includes a computer performance optimizer as well as a password manager. Avast’s premium plans also include an excellent VPN however it comes with a limit on bandwidth and does not have a no-logs policy. Despite these issues, Avast is still one of the top antivirus software. The interface of the program is user-friendly and a majority of its major features come with brief explanations attached to them which explain their purpose. Additionally, the application includes a search feature that allows you to locate the settings you’re searching for quickly.
