Verified reviewI am so happy I am using it. I tried the rest too.Just the other day, my system was operating like it was about to destroy itself and thankfully Avast walked me through a process that cleaned my system files and then cleaned my root files. Sure, it took maybe 4 hours but today it works fine.

Verified reviewI have had no virus since I started using Avast several years ago as it instantly stops a virus attack and notify with notice as to the particulars of Virus or Malware attack. Since 2084 I've used the standard Anti-Virus programs as Norton, etc. However the Avast has performed flawlessly!

Verified reviewI use Norton 360 for over two years and it would hardly update at all! I removed Norton and downloaded Avast and Avast found 151 infected files! Avast sometimes updates twice a day not twice a month! Also it stops me from going on dangerous websites! I am more impressed with Avast and the way it performs than any other program on my desktop!

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 reviewAlthough I don't ""surf the web"" randomly like some people do, and don't run across allot of viruses like some people, I know this is the best anti-virus around.The one virus I did run across while using avast, the dreaded ransomware virus everyone seems to be getting that locks your whole computer up to ransom you into paying money to these criminals to get it ""unlocked"" and get your files back, Even though there just getting all your credit info. Anyways It blocked the virus my computer runs like normal.Also, avast does not slow down your computer... Unless that is its updating which takes only a few seconds to minutes based on your internet speed.If youre looking for a strong anti-virus get avast! you wont be disappointed

Verified reviewAfter paying exorbitant prices for more popular products and still getting hit with viruses that shut down my computer (and then having to pay for the ""fix"" & removal of viruses), My computer tech put on the free version of Avast. I have since upgraded to the paid version, and it has worked extremely well at keeping both my husband's computer and my computer safe from virus attacks & maleware. While knowing that no security product can stop every virus out there, Avast does a better job than most. I have an on-going protection for the next year through Zone-Alarm, but deleted that program from my computer after getting that ""FBI"" virus that cost me lots of cash to have removed. I have also experienced major viruses while ""protected"" through McAfee & Norton. I would recommend (and have) this product to family/friends.

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 reviewThis product uses less room on my computer than the other anti virus- malware products. It's fairly self managing just set your options and let it go on its own. The program will tell you verbally when it has updated (optional) so you can keep surfing, playing, working without interruption. I highly recommend this product. There is a free version as well but of course the perks are in the paid for edition. After having the free Avast, I just had to upgrade to the paid version because I was so pleased with the product. The extra protection from the freeware is, in my mind, more than worth the small amount for the paid version. It is not expensive yet It is worth every penny and more for the peace of mind. Avast! Internet Security is my protection of choice and I highly recommend it.

Verified reviewI have had Avast security for over 5 years now and have been very happy with it. Its very quick to let me know if something in my email or even on facebook that I click on is not a safe site or has a virus or other bug attached to it. Due to this I have not had any bad events happen to my computer. The price is great, I paid $69 one time for up to 3 computers in my household for 3 years and this is the upgraded security for when you use the internet to shop or bank. I also love the fact that they have Avast safe zone to go to when you are on a bank or credit card website. If you go to that site without going to safe zone first, they quickly recommend that you switch to safe zone before continuing into your account. I highly recommend that people use avast as an internet security program. I have recommended it to many friends and relatives who have also been happy with it.

Verified reviewLike a lot of computer uses at home I share some paranoia regarding viruses and Trojans and so forth. I have used Panda and Zone Alarm and several others but I found Avast both easy and effective to use, and fairly inexpensive. It is really good for what I need (Panda and Zone Alarm, to me, are like using a 155 mm cannon on what I encounter) and I highly recommend it. I find the almost continual updates on the anti-virus front crucial. What I most fear is a malicious program that could interfere with the actual operation of my machine. Since using AVAST I haven't encountered that so I'm satisfied.As far as identity theft, I find being poor with a terrible credit rating does a lot more to prevent that than any software.

Verified reviewI have used a subscription version of avast! for my home computer and the free version of avast! for quite a long time for my laptop and have had no problems with either computer. My wife uses the free version of avast! on her 5 year old personal laptop too without any problems, she is very happy about that. The user interface is pretty intuitive, so anyone can navigate its menu and configure the settings for their own needs. avast! auto-updates itself when I turn my computer on so I don't have to remember to do it and risk forgetting to do it for a few days which would leave me vulnerable. I have used other anti virus software but I like avast! the best for overall protection, ease of use and cost. I would recommend it to anyone, even in a business environment.

Verified reviewI have been using Avast! Internet Security for about a year. I'm happy with the service and the fact that it does not slow my computer noticeably. I used AVG (paid version) for a couple years but left them when I could not get them to respond to a support issue. I have used the customer support for Avast! several times. Each time I was able to quickly get the help I needed. I do not like some of the features on this product - especially the spam filter. One of my calls to customer service was to find out how to remove it. (The answer: go to Control Panel/Programs and Features where you can modify the installation and remove specific components.) Avast! has caught a number of malware coming in to my email and prevented problems. This is a very good feature and different from the spam filter.

Verified reviewAVAST makes the third antivirus software I have used since PCs came on the market. I dumped the first two because they became to pushy, wanted to tell ME how/where/what I was going to do on my computer. Then I read, or heard, I don't remember, about AVAST and checked it out by downloading the free version. From the first day I downloaded the software, to the present, AVAST has sat in the background and ""done its own thing."" I was so impressed by the free version that I purchased the Internet Security package.I don't have to worry about popups occurring several times a session while on the computer, it scans all e-mails and downloads, all the while sitting in the background ""doing its own thing."" And should it detect a bad guy then and only then do you see a warning popup on the screen. I also find it does a very nice job scanning the entire system for anything which might have snuck by accident, which does occur from time to time. There are some features of this software I don't use, either because I don't really need them or can't afford to activate them.Overall, it is a really nice program, one I would like to have seen when PCs first came on the market. But I'm glad a group of people put their heads together and came up with which is easy to use, sits in the background ""doing it's own thing,"" and something which I tell others about.
