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 reviewBought the 3 year bundle pack for three computers and split it with my two brothers. Come out to be $10 a year for excelect internet security. This will be year 3 I've had the service.As a single man in college, this software has saved my butt a few times. The moment you try to connect to a page someone else has had issues with, the program blocks the page and shows you what other users have picked up to prevent the same thing from happening to your computer. It does give you the option to ignore the page if you are a gambling man. The ways it's been explained to me, avast! provides a very robust free version that many use, I did for 2 years before upgrading. Each of these users can rate pages they've been to and it tracks what pages have given them issues. All of this information is stored and sent out in the daily virus protection updates to give you the best chance at blocking new infected pages and programs you may be downloading.I've been an avid Norton user in the past and I'm glad I made the switch. This service is significantly cheaper, when you split the cost, and has a more robust method of protecting it's users, in my opinion. My advice to you, if you're torn between two services and can't make up your mind, download the free version and give it a trial. Like I said, I tried this method for 2 years before I made a final decision, mainly because I didn't have any free cash to actually ""buy"" software but it was a good way to test the product nonetheless.Also, I'm not sure if they are still doing this but after trialing the free version for 2 years, I received discounted offers in my email that finally pushed me to make the call. If you're looking to save a few bucks and this method of advertising is still being done, download the free version and try buying a copy that way. I think it saved me $30 that way... but was three years ago so who knows.Anyways, hope this helps and happy comment reading!

Verified reviewI have been an avast user for many years. My IT Guru son made me aware of Avast and at first I chose their free service. In comparison to all the others and I mean I tried them all Avast is simply the best. It does not slow you down, it is intelligent when it comes to your programs' needs and intuitive to use while self-maintaining. It updates all the time without any problems. I then chose to buy Avast service because of the additional security features. The price I pay per year is small in comparison for what I get and it is a 3 PC license.

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 reviewFor an Anti-Virus you don't have to pay for, this really is top of the line. In a survey of the best Anti-Viruses on the market today (both paid and free) Avast! Anti-Virus ranked 2nd best in the world only behind Kaspersky Anti-Virus by a couple of false positives (A false positive is when your AV picks up a file and flags it as a virus when it actually isn't - all AV does that at some point, don't let that dissuade you). The best part about it, is that you only pay when you want to pay. Of course using free gives you less features, but when I had a virus on my PC many years ago and got Avast! to try to help, it not only did the job, it was easy to use too and it has never failed me since. With it's user-friendly interface, voice pop-ups that let you know of your AV activity and the ability to pay for it whenever you want, there's really no downside to at least trying it. Another really good point is that it's MUCH cheaper than most other Anti-Viruses out there on the market and they always have deals on their subscriptions (50% off and such) and for the amount of work it does for the price, it's a win-win.One of the few downsides I found is that, while it's not resource heavy, there are times when it does work and takes up a large portion of your CPU, causing other things to slow down. It doesn't happen often, but it's worth mentioning.

Verified reviewI used Avast free version for years. After a couple of years when the software had caught at least 10 Trojans, I felt they deserved my business. I have used Avast Pro for at least 10 years. Last year when I had a ""blue screen issue"", Avast trapped my browser in the sandbox. I called and they repaired my system remotely The price for a year is reasonable and it covers all 3 of my licensed systems. You get 3 licenses with your initial installation. I f my system runs ragged, I call and let them tune it up. Actually, I rarely write a review, but I have never had one issue that their customer support wasn't there for. All my friends and family call me when they have computer problems. I insist they at least use the free version.I .

Verified reviewI've been using Avast Internet Security for a couple of years now. I was introduced to it several years ago when I purchased a new laptop and the techs there had installed the free version for me. I like their customer service, they have been very helpful, and I like that I feel safe when I surf and shop on line. Granted, that's about all I do, but I feel safe doing it. I also like that Avast doesn't slow me down while using the computer like one popular program that I had did.

Verified reviewAvast has been my Internet security avatar for many years, and for many of them I accepted their FREE service and the last two years I invested in their increased security software. Avast is the 'darling' of techy advisors for personal computer issues. My 'tech' advisors, the brilliant guys who I call on once or twice a year have ALWAYS advised me to use AVAST. I had no assistance downloading 2020 Internet Security Download and it went very smoothly, after following their detailed description commands. I highly recommend USER FRIENDLY AVAST, try it's excellent customer service response.

Verified reviewI have been using Avast! for many years. I use it on my it on my PC Win 7 Laptops as well as my Linux Laptop. I also use it on a Android Tablet. I have yet to encounter a problem with it, yet I know it words due to the warning messages I get when it identifies malware attempts on my OSs. In my own simple tests, after performing a preboot , in dept scan with Avast!, I compared the results with another products ""live"" CD tests and there was no difference noted in the presence of any malware. In both cases, there was none.Avast!'s interface is nicely laid out and easy to use. It offers many additional tools for the non-novice to employ.Please note that in many computer magazine's tests, Avast! is always rated within the top 5. also note that many of Advast! competitors are more expensive. While the free version of Avast! is very good, the paid version provides much more security and, of course, peace of mind. Unfortunately, Avast!, as of the time I wrote this review, does not provide protection for Apple's OS (I-phones, I-pads, etc)Bottom line: Great product at a very reasonable price. Customer device is excellent.

Verified reviewI've been a customer of Avast for 5 years each year gets better. I download the license from them and buy a rescue disc yearly that they mail to me with my order and date printed on the cd.The system icon turns around (""system is secured"") on my desktop, I know it's working as I get Avast warning messages if I come across a site or messages that aren't secure or if an infected file is suspected.I've only had to call them twice (for glitches on my end with the license number download).The staff is WONDERFUL, I leave the conversation with a sense of respect.I would HIGHLY recommend Avast.Gail in Alaska

Verified reviewI have used Avast! for years. Started out with the free version then, for the last few years, upgraded to the internet security version. I can attest, from experience, that it really works. There have been countless times when someone sent a link or something tried to get through to infect my computers and Avast! has prevented it every time. It works quietly in the background, doesn't cause problems with legitimate downloads, and does its job very well. Best of all, it does not slow down your computer. It is very easy to work with and even monitors when other programs need an update. You will never go wrong in choosing Avast!

Verified reviewUntil they follow suit with the others McAfee, Norton, EZ Armor, AGW, Webroot and the rest becoming far to invasive and controlling I 've found them to be a company that delivers as advertised without the constant hassle that has ruined so many others. I still use however Window Washer from Webroot.I found one portion of the loading instructions to be a bit difficult one cannot it seems just buy without trying it first which is actually not a bad way to go. I'm just not used to that sort of marketing. It's rather nice and I appreciate it.They put up then shut up for the first thirty days and one should seriously consider the three or maybe more for less version if they have multiple units in the house.The second level is all that's needed for the average user.Again I appreciate their marketing strategy and the lack of nose in the tent attitude BUT buy only fromthe company direct and the same with programs like Open Office or through Amazon and do not use companies like Softronics which are privacy invaders.

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.

Verified reviewI changed to Avast because the Virus Protection program that I was using for many years, screwed my computer up so badly that it took a repair man many hours to figure out what was wrong and to fix my computers. About two weeks after my computers locked up I saw a comment in the News Paper explaining that the (Blank) Company had, had a problem. I am still angry because they didn't apologize (well they sort of mumbled in a letter they sent out a long time afterwards, reminded me of a 6 year old boy refusing to take responabilty). I feel/felt they owed me and others a real apology (and I think I deserved pain and suffering, plus the cost of the repairman). I have Avast on all of my devices and my daughter put it on all of hers. We have had Virus Protection from one or the other of the top rated Virus Protection Programs since it came out. We purchased our first computers in the late 80's (which was a few years ago). We are very happy with Avast and the way it performs. I am so glad that a friend recommended it to us.

Verified reviewI 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 reviewHave been using this software for about 5 years now. I like that it updates at least once a day and some times more. It is very quick and does not slow my internet by much when updating. You can also set when you want it to scan you computer so as not to interrupt with the times you are on the internet. It will sometimes give you a false warning when downloading a new program. If you know the program is good, it will let you by pass the warning. My whole family uses this program on their computers. I would recommend this software to anyone using the internet.
