Avast’s free review windows
The new interface for Avast is well laid-out, with clear demarcation between its various elements as well as easy-to-use blue icons (with orange accents derived benefits of antivirus software from the logo of the company) to identify the suite’s features. On the homepage, you can perform a scan, turn on the VPN and get shortcuts to a few not-so-useful tools for system optimization. However the fact that a lot of the other features offered by Avast are hidden under the “Explore” tab can be somewhat frustrating.
The installation process is simple, and you’re not required to choose the free version. However, a thorough scan will identify “advanced problems” that require premium security to address. It’s a little shady. Especially when you click on the Resolve option and are directed to a webpage where you are asked to sign up for Avast Premium security. Avast sells users’ data, as well according to an Which? article published in 2020. magazine.
