Verified reviewFantastic. Had Avast for about 6 Months now. it is great. Everytime you first go online it updates itself and lets you know. A real simple system to work with. Have Norton on my other computers but think I will change over to Avast.

Verified reviewAvast is a great value, plain and simple. The free version, the last time I checked, has one of the best detection rates around.I upgraded four months ago to the "avast! Internet Security" package from the free version for $10 off the regular price. I would suggest getting the free version and taking the upgrade deal to save the $10.The firewall does a very good job of behaving appropriately and has a nice, simple interface for those who are not tech savvy. Being a computer engineer, I have found that the advanced features are present also.The program does pester you with upgrades to features until you disable the notifications in the settings, which is annoying. I also am generally not interested in the software updater, which suggests an update to the flash player plugin seemingly every day (this is really Adobe's fault). I usually use Ninite to update my programs rather than avast.

Verified reviewAvast does an exceptional job of guarding against internet viruses and worms. A remarkable piece of software and it functions really well in the background requiring almost no attention.It does beep and flash a message window on the screen when it detects/prevents a bad thing from happening when you're on the Internet.

Verified reviewSwitched from Norton because it slowed-down my computer and was interfering with some of my programs running. So far, I have had no issues from Avast other than having a difficult time figuring out how to allow file-sharing between all my computers on my LAN. The GUI is a learning curve but once you figure it out it's not too bad.Avast's security appears to be solid. Last week I was looking at some motorcycle items and browsed to a website that appeared to be legit, but Avast blocked me from accessing the site saying that the site had a bad reputation of not appearing to be what they claim to be. That made me feel good knowing that it protected me from a potential virus/malware issue.At my place of employment, malware is so rampant it is insane, but at home with Avast I have yet to get a single instance. Unless they screw something up bad, I will stay with Avast.

Verified reviewI used Kasperky for quite a few years until one day I had an issue and their customer service representatives best advice was to request a refund, I did. I started using Avast after reading lots... of reviews and it worked flawlessly. Even on a computer that suffered some issues after my Kasperky experience. So to make a long story short my issues kept getting worse, and eventually Avast wouldn't boot up. I called their tech-line and after they saw I was having issues with restarting my computer they asked to allow them to come in and see what was going on. So to make and even longer story short , I put them on speaker phone and I literally had two meals, my lunch and dinner while their technician removed things added things had me rebooting until finally 6 hours later the Avast Technician says, "Sir? I'm sure that this will be the last reboot let's give it a try" I did and everything worked as it should he explained what he'd found and asked if their would be anything else I needed? I was truly impressed with their determination and the length of time that they were willing to go too to satisfy a customer. As for their antivirus and internet security one of the simplest that I've ever used and trust it wholeheartedly. I recommend it to my friends and family and usually give my extra copies to friends and family that are reluctant to trying something new. So if you're looking at this as your next antivirus/internet security you are making a great choice. I bought this today after I had problems with Eset and Kaspersky...Eset wouldn't run, and Kaspersky ran pretty good, but I had some connection problems with steam...I went to Avast's website and downloaded, the full product, its the 2nd download link, the one on the bottom. It was a 100-200MG download. I also did a custom install.You'll see 3 columns.The 1st column says shields: I left it alone default was with all boxes checked.The 2nd column says tools: I unchecked sandbox, avast remote assistance, avast gadget, and simple management connector.The 3rd column says languages: I of course picked English.I am having absolutely NO problems I even ran the tool grimefighter and selected the start up programs I wanted to keep.It's running real nice. Just do the custom install. No problems whatsoever.I was thinking about going with Emsisoft, maybe next year.But so far I'm loving Avast..So I can't relate to the few negative reviews... Hope this helps..

Verified reviewWhile I love the free version, which I use on my phone and a couple of other computers, I have the paid version on my PC, which is my life. I highly recommend Avast for everyone.

Verified reviewAfter a few years of using the free anti-virus program, I was finally able to afford the paid version of the Internet Security suite. I was / am allowed to load it on up to three machines. And this seems to be the best Internet Security / Anti-Virus program I've ever installed.For the most part, the Avast software does its job without getting in my way. About the only ways of telling that it is truly effective are the occasional malware warnings, or the rarer need to restore my XP system to a previous Restore Point. And to be fair, those instances are usually preceded by me downloading and installing some sort of software that may have been a carrier for malware.The anti-virus scans can be set to operate in the background during lulls in user activity or when the screen savor activates. The brief updates of anti-virus and related files is fairly innocuous, and seldom limits my access to the internet. One new feature I am currently interested in is the Avast Safety Zone, which thwarts key-logging and similar attempts to steal bits of my identity.If there is any downside to MY use of Avast, it is that it is so simple to use, that I seldom take the time to learn about anything more than the basic setup, and don't bother with any advanced features or topics which might further boost security and privacy. But, I haven't really found a compelling need to do so, and would just as soon work with the computer, being productive, rather than work on it, which is usually not so productive.All in all, Avast seems to be THE computer security solution for most people with typical needs, and a desire to get some actual work done. I heartily recommend it.

Verified reviewBeen using it for the past 3 years. When I go to check on client's PC's that are having issues, and see they don't have anything protecting their system, I always download Avast.

Verified reviewI have used Avast for years and came across this on BEST Antivirus UK. This is the way to buy an AV, & this version is so much better than Avast Internet Security also.

Verified reviewI have used Avast for many years now, on 2 different computers. I had never heard of it, and IT friend from Canada recommended it. He has a high level job with a very, very large international company so I am certain he knows what he is talking about. I am still a plug it in and hope it works kind of person!I started with the free version (not sure if it is still out there) and it worked great. I now have the upgraded version and again - great. I have had McAfee and Norton, and I felt like they were intrusive. It seemed like I could not turn on my computer without messages, upgrades, etc. With Avast, it is like they leave me alone but I am protected. Maybe I did something wrong previously - but I am certain I would not use anything other than Avast.

Verified reviewI have used the free version for almost 10 years now and it works great. never got a virus get through works out of the box easy to use install ect, free version has gotten a little naggy about its products as of recent but nothing too intrusive they pop something up once you click off it your done. or turn off notifications all together which I don't recommended unless your an advanced user. I built my pc from the ground up and this is the only virus software I trust for it.

Verified reviewReally impressed with price for comprehensive protection to include cleaner and VPN. I was already using Avast on one of my computers so as that license expired I decided to use Avast Ultimate on all of my devices. I trust the protection. The install for what are in effect three separate programs was a little more complicated than it needs to be but I still set everything up quickly. Highly recommend.
