Best Antivirus Software

Best antivirus software to date. I have been using it for a decade and it detects an error as fast as it could.

Very Deceiving Advertising. Will Never "purchase"again!

I thought I was purchasing a great program. Well, I was totally blown away AFTER the PURCHASE and realized I had to "Purchase" much more to get what I had already paid for.$$$ for this $$$ for that $$$ for other things that ordinarily come with other PAID programs. I actually "PAID" to be on a totally worthless program. Shame on Avast and shame on my stupidity!  ( I bet this review will never see the light of day or the dark of night. Let me know if you want my name, phone number, and address).

The One Flaw

Overall I have a high opinion of AVAST. The one flaw is the NON-STOP popups telling me my PC is running slow. I am quite literate when it comes to PCs. One simple example to check pgms in the startup category. But I wish AVAST would stop telling me EVERY DAY

Dont Install

It will slow down your computer (a lot!), and it is annoying to uninstall (you have to download another program to uninstall). Once you uninstall it, it will slow down your computer for no reason and mess up your other programs. 100% regret.

Don't Use This Pile Of Garbage.

Do not trust or pay this company, they are overpriced and ineffective. Furthermore, any company (Avast) needing to sneakily install their software attached to legitimate applications, should not be trusted. There are many other anti-virus packages out there. You all would be better suited to choosing a cheaper more reputable company.

STAY AWAY from this company, they are not worth the waste of time, money and lack of security.

Laughable

I use Avast free anti virus. It's forever coming up with amusing security violation messages to tempt me to buy the full version. The latest one said that anyone could easily see my location at Salisbury - only about 200 miles out - I'm in Sheringham, Norfolk. Loved to have seen what the other 3 were but it wouldn't show me.

Otherwise it seems to function OK

Useless Until They Remove Bugs They Didn't Care They Put In

Avast used to be a modestly good antivirus, would help stop viruses from downloading, defective web sites from loading, together with Malwarebytes that I would never be without.

I had the security version - don't have the title to look at since it's no longer on my computer, obviously, because my computer is working and I can surf the Internet.

The advertising is defective. You get to use a license with three devices - but one of them can't be your cell phone, you need to purchase a separate product for that, I got a different brand's antivirus for that. I don't think so! If you don't cover my phone don't even think you're getting more money off of me - and don't try to get me to buy a more expensive product telling me THAT will cover my cell phone, because you needed to include that to begin with.

Then, they made changes in the software, allegedly improving it. It allegedly needs to scan EVERY file that opens in my browser, even though I turned that feature off. It takes FOR EVER to open almost ANY web page, complete with all twelve ads at any place on the page, like all of them have.

Eventually, it breaks my internet connection.

Then it freezes my computer.

I uninstalled it and ALL of the problems disappeared.

I reinstalled it and they came back.

I uninstalled it and ALL the problems disappeared.

And don't even mess with what operating system or browser I'm using, because if they are going to charge good money for Avast and say it works, it has to work on all of them. So Avast has NO legs to stand on.

Worthless product. Worthless ---- (you fill in the blank) who created it. Don't even PRETEND to be human. I should complain to the Better Business Bureau and demand a refund, because my license is good until February! And I definitely WILL, if ANYONE pushes me on the matter.

Q&A

JoannHayes

may I download this Free Avast Antivirus now?

RickyE

Can I recover documents that have been subjected to a Ransomware demand using Avast?

BigBrotherBob

I have used Avast for several years on my older computers.

My new computer was furnished with a competitive antivirus software one year ago. Without warning, it seems to have expired and the new computer has been infected.

Will downloading Avast at this point remove the virus and restore the files hidden by the virus?

Ranevskaya

We are trying to install free version. It gives us a list of items to delete. But when we click on the fix it button, it simply teturns to the scan.

Also, is it necessary to pay for any licence, when you are supposedly downloading a free version?

Thanks.

Ranevskaya

PC keeps scanning, comes up with list of things I should delete. When I press fix it, it just goes back to scanning again. 

Also. Do I need to pay for the licence to get the 'free' version of Avast?

greenhouse123

Is it really good anti virus?

GetOnline

In my honest opinion, of all the FREE AntiVirus products available, AVAST is the best. I repair many computers every week that run other AV products that were riddled with Trojans and Malware. Seems even some of the paid versions of well known AV brands are not good at detecting threats correctly.

One thing to be aware of though is that running 2 types of detection can lead to you having no protection at all! If you plan to install AVAST, make sure you un-install any other AV software, INCLUDING Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender).

Hope this helps to answer your question!
