Description

Avast Antivirus delivers a comprehensive antivirus solution for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. You benefit from features like malware protection, phishing defense, and Wi-Fi security scanning, all built into the base free offering. Free and paid options share a common foundation of protection and extend into real-time ransomware shields and secure browsing.

You experience cross-platform coverage, with support for both desktop and mobile environments. The free version provides essential safeguards, while paid tiers include extras such as VPN, webcam protection, cleanup tools, and anti-tracking. That layered approach lets you choose how much security and utility you need.

Avast topped market share outside China back in 2016 with over 400 million users globally, and it remains a key player in cybersecurity today :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. You’re getting backing from Gen Digital and a software with a long track record of innovation and user reach.

The frequency of updates and threat intelligence comes from Avast’s extensive user base, which helps improve detection. You benefit from both automatic updates and threat data fueled by millions of endpoints worldwide. That scale contributes to responsiveness in handling new malicious threats.

Even if you begin with free, you can scale up: paid tiers unlock advanced tools as your needs evolve—without switching to a different brand.
