Avast antivirus comes with a broad set of features packaged in a simple package. In my tests the malware engine got an excellent score. Its web security was also effective in catching phishing websites that got past Chrome’s and Firefox’s default detector systems. The performance scanner also did a great job of keeping its impact on system speed to the minimum. In fact Avast’s performance scan was more effective in decreasing CPU usage than any other program I tried.

Avast also provides a range of other tools. It includes a password management tool as well as a VPN (exclusive to Avast One), a photo vault and a data breach monitoring feature. The security toolkit also has the sandbox to run applications and an internet scanner to look for vulnerabilities.

If you ever run into difficulties, Avast’s support site provides a complete knowledge base. The search function makes finding the answers to frequently asked questions easy. If you’re unable to find the answer, Avast’s forum is a great way to seek help from other users.

While Avast claims it no longer sells user information, its history of doing this is fresh in the minds of a lot of consumers. In January of 2020, PCMag and Motherboard revealed that Avast sold the location and other information of its users to third parties through its Jumpshot subsidiary. Avast has halted this practice and asks for users to opt in during the installation of its desktop antivirus software. In its privacy policy, Avast states that all data of consumers is “stripped off and de-identified prior to being shared with a third-party.”
