The avast Ultimate is an antivirus program that provides a complete security suite that protects computers, smartphones and tablets against malware and spyware. It also shields the devices from ransomware, viruses and other malicious software. It comes with advanced security features, including advanced anti-tracking, an VPN for online privacy as well as the best cleaning and tune-up tools. In my tests its malware engine, it was able to detect 100% of malware with a 100% detection rate. It even detected scams that got past Chrome and Firefox’s default security.
This is the most comprehensive package that Avast offers by combining their top security and performance features into a comprehensive suite. Its top-of-the-line cybersecurity features blocks all types of malware, including ransomware. It also includes an VPN to ensure maximum online privacy, top tuneup and cleanup tools, and a password manager. Its Wi-Fi Inspector tool will scan your home or office network for vulnerabilities. The AntiTrack feature will stop online trackers from taking and sharing your personal data.
All of these features are available on both Windows and Android devices. The multi-device license lets you use the program on up to 10 different platforms at once. Avast also offers a single-device plan as well as the more specific Avast Cleanup Premium feature.
The security suite from Avast is simple and user-friendly. Its multi-device licenses make it a great option for families, and the free version is adequate to defend against malware and other threats. Its customer service is good, although it takes a few steps to get assistance from a human.
