Avast ultimate is a security software with a high detection rate as well as amazing extra features. Its malware scanner received the perfect score in my tests, and its web protection blocked many phishing sites which slipped through Chrome and Firefox’s default protections. Other features include a Rescue Disk, a secure browser for online banking and shopping, advanced tracker blockers and a VPN.
The interface for users of the suite is easy to navigate. Its main screen displays a list of its key tools with clear icons that describe their functions. Avast’s color scheme is orange, white, and blue. It’s easy to read and pleasing to the eye.
In the Explore menu, you will discover more in-depth tools’ controls, including custom scans, boot-time scanning as well as an automatic updater. You can also save certain kinds of scans in the “Scan Center”, so you can run them again at a future date.
Among the more advanced features, Avast’s antivirus can stop ransomware attacks by monitoring your system for suspicious activity and encryption of all files that could be targeted. It can identify trojan horses (malicious software that disguises itself as legitimate software that get into your computer) and prevent them from running.
Avast’s security offerings are backed by 24 hours of live chat, email and phone support. The free versions are backed by a vast community and knowledge base and paid plans offer advanced features like identity protection and unlimited VPN, USB protection and patch management.
