Avast Premium Security 26.5.10994

Description

In a world where AI makes already emerging malware attacks increasingly sophisticated, the importance of solid security software is vital both for safeguarding the PC and protecting users’ privacy.

While the Avast Free Antivirus provides already broad security functionality, including real-time protection against malware of all kinds, network and phishing attacks, the paid Avast Premium Security raises the game even more and delivers a cutting-edge security system for advanced protection against online threats.

Advanced security features for real-time protection

Addressing security, privacy and performance issues altogether, Avast Premium Security delivers extended protection against online threats, be it viruses, adware, trojans, spyware or ransomware.

Aside from real-time protection against digital threats, it comes with on-demand scans to find suspicious behavior, compromised applications and system vulnerabilities. Full scans are thorough but take longer, while targeted scans only analyze selected files and folders. On the other hand, boot time scans can detect potentially dangerous applications that might be scheduled to start with Windows.

Aside from file protection, Avast Premium Security can block web attacks and unsafe pages, suspicious downloads or email attachments, building up a robust core defense system ready to secure not just data on your PC, but also safeguarding online browsing, shopping and banking. Thanks to the enhanced firewall in Avast Premium Security, network intrusions are blocked as well.

It is worth mentioning that Avast Premium Security also comes with key features from Avast Internet Security, Avast Premier and Avast Pro, components of Avast’s product lineup which are no longer available.

Robust and powerful privacy-related feature set

As expected with a premium security suite, Avast Premium Security also packs an extensive privacy-related feature set ready to shield you against webcam spying, DNS hijacking and RDP attacks.

The data shredder can irreversibly erase files, drives and wipe out deleted data, while the sensitive data shield can protect documents that include banking info, social security numbers and other similar data.

A virtual sandbox allows you to execute applications in an isolated environment and see how they behave without affecting your system.

A feature-packed security solution for malware detection and privacy protection

The titans of cybersecurity strive to deliver solid protection in their flagship products and Avast makes no difference. Avast Premium Security comes with extra security functionality, extending the capabilities of the already highly rated Avast free antivirus.

However, unlike other security suites, Avast Premium Security lacks VPN protection, available only in the Ultimate edition, alongside the anti-tracking module (which prevents unauthorized monitoring of browsing habits) and the Cleanup Premium performance tool.
