Avast Antivirus Review
Avast antivirus comes with a wonderful collection of features that come in an streamlined package. Its malware engine got a perfect score in my testing, and its web protection was effective at catching sites that were phishing that slipped through Chrome and Firefox’s default detection systems. The performance scanner did a great job at keeping its impact on the system speed to a bare minimum. Avast’s performance scanning was more effective than any other software in the reduction of CPU usage.
In addition to the malware protection and performance scan, Avast offers a host of other tools. Avast One is the only one that offers the VPN with an image vault, and an instrument for monitoring data breaches. Its security toolkit is quite extensive, with a sandbox to run applications within and a security scanner to identify possible vulnerabilities.
Avast provides a comprehensive support website that provides a comprehensive knowledge base if you have issues. The search function makes finding www.alvieprimaryschool.org.uk/top-computer-speakers-models-in-2021/ the answers to frequently asked questions a breeze. If you can’t find the answer, Avast’s forums is a great resource to seek help from other users.
Although Avast claims that it no longer sells user information however, the fact that it has done this is still fresh in the minds of a lot of consumers. In January of 2020, PCMag and Motherboard revealed that Avast sold the location and other details of its users to third parties via its Jumpshot subsidiary. Avast has been able to stop this practice and now asks users to sign-up during new installs of its desktop AV software. Its privacy policy states that the data of consumers is “stripped and separated from its owner” before being shared with third party.
