Avast Ultimate Review

Avast Ultimate is a security software with high detection rates and many extra features. Its malware scanner scored the perfect score in my tests and its web protection blocked a variety of phishing websites that got past Chrome and Firefox’s default protections. Other features include the Rescue Disk, a secure browser for online banking and shopping, advanced tracker blockers and a VPN.

The user interface of the suite is simple to navigate. The main screen displays icons that clearly describe the functions of each tool. The color scheme of Avast is orange white, blue, and. It’s easy to read and pleasing to the eyes.

In the Explore menu, you can access more in-depth control options for each tool including custom scans, boot-time scanning, and an automatic updater. You can also save certain types of scans to the “Scan Center”, so you can run them again at a later time.

Avast’s advanced features help in preventing ransomware by checking your computer for suspicious activity, and then encrypting files which may have been targeted. It is able to detect a trojan horse (a malicious program that slips into your computer disguised as genuine software) and stop it from running on your system.

Avast offers 24/7 phone, email and live chat support. The free versions of the product are backed by an extensive community of knowledge avg antivirus review and a vast knowledge base and paid plans offer advanced features like identity protection and unlimited VPN, USB protection and patch management.
