About AVAST Software
Free versus paid
The free antivirus covers viruses, malware and online scams, with real-time detection and web protection. Premium Security and Ultimate go further, adding ransomware shields, webcam protection, a firewall and checks against phishing and fake websites. AI-powered anti-scam guidance is part of the package. Multi-device licences stretch one subscription across PCs, Macs, Android phones and iPhones, and a small business can cover up to 10 devices.
Privacy and speed tools
SecureLine VPN encrypts your connection on public Wi-Fi. AntiTrack disguises your digital fingerprint to cut down personalised ads, and Secure Browser keeps web browsing private. Secure Identity helps protect personal information. Cleanup Premium aims to speed a device up, and Driver Updater keeps system drivers current.
