Avast Ultimate Review
Avast Ultimate is a security application that has an excellent detection rate and numerous additional features. Its malware scanner scored the perfect score in my tests and its web security blocked many phishing sites that slipped past Chrome and Firefox’s default security. Other features include the Rescue Disk, a secure browser for online shopping and banking, as well as advanced tracker blocking and a VPN.
The suite’s user interface is easy to navigate. The main screen shows icons that clearly describe the features of each tool. Avast uses an orange, blue and white color scheme that’s pleasing to the eyes and easy to read.
In the Explore menu, you’ll discover more in-depth controls for each tool, including custom scans, boot-time scanning as well as an automatic updater. You can also save certain types of scans in the “Scan Center”, so you can run them again at a later date.
Avast’s advanced features can help in preventing ransomware by checking your computer for suspicious activities, and encrypting files that may be targeted. It can detect trojan horses (malicious programs that are disguised as legitimate software and get into your computer) and prevent them from running.
Avast’s security products are backed by 24/7 email, live chat and telephone support. The free versions of Avast are supported by a vast community and knowledge base. Paid plans include advanced features like identity protection, USB protection, patch management, and unlimited VPN.
