Avast ultimate is a security application that has an impressive detection rate and great additional features. Its malware scanner earned 100% in my tests and its web security blocked a variety of phishing websites that got past Chrome and Firefox’s default security. Other features include the Rescue Disk, a secure browser for online shopping and banking, as well as advanced tracker blockers and an VPN.
The user interface of the suite is easy to use. The main screen displays an array of 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.
You will find the precise controls for each tool under the Explore menu. These include custom scans and boot time scanning and an automatic updater. You can also save specific types of scans within the “Scan Center”, so you can run them in the future.
Avast’s advanced features help in preventing ransomware by checking your PC for suspicious activity and encrypting any files that might have been targeted. It can even identify trojan horses (a malicious program that slips into your computer disguised as genuine software) and stop it from running on your system.
Avast offers 24/7 email, phone and live chat support. The free versions of Avast are supported by a large knowledge base and community. Paid plans offer advanced features like identity protection, USB protection, patch management, and an unlimited VPN.
