Best antivirus for computers and laptops.

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: All things considered, Avast Ultimate Business Security is a fantastic option for companies searching for a complete and trustworthy security solution.

Pros:

The best anti-virus and malware program I've ever used is Avast. It is incredibly simple to use and does a great job of protecting your computer. At home, I use the business edition, and on my personal computer, I use the internet security version.

Cons:

It does not provide security from some malware that is already out there. Pendrive scanning can occasionally go wrong and leave the computer vulnerable to infection.

Nice Security tool

5.0 last year

Comments: Great

Pros:

The ability to give appropriate protection of assets and help manage threats and automatic quarantine of suspected malicious files.

Cons:

Sometimes it doesn’t pick up some degree of threats that are possibly causing problems on some devices based on my personal experience. While it's indeed a great solution no doubt but having to skip some intricate files and the threat that is pretty obvious they’re threats based on human intuition is just the only limitation have experienced with the solution.

Excellent protection capabilities for our computer system.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: We used it because our system was vulnerable, we went through many defense systems like this and they were very expensive and very limiting in detecting and stopping cyber threats, the whole implementation process was easy, the scans are fast and the return on investment has been favorable.

Pros:

It is a protection system far superior to the others, I like that we had a good implementation, no restrictions in our operating system, the implementation was good and the user interface is dynamic, the alerts are early and strong when trying to get malicious in our company.

Cons:

We have had no problems as we have a team of trained people with prior experience with software of this type, and no bad experiences since using it.

Makes a Very Good Anti Virus.

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Avast is a good program I have been using it for years with just a few issues it's quite reliable and fast. Provides tips on how to protect yourself from cyber crimes and is very active in detecting threats, I use it with confidence both online and offline, in my business and home computer systems.

Pros:

It's easy to install and easy to use with a friendly interface. Offers protection to a wide variety of cyber threats. Avast scans my web pages and tells me if the sites am attempting to visit are safe, If I visit a malicious site unknowingly avast blocks me from accessing the site and requests me to go back to safety. from the time I started using Avast all my data and computer systems are free from malware. Avast automatically updates itself to a new version when available and the antivirus database updates frequently so I don't have to do anything once I install it everything else is left to the program itself. Avast also does password management for me which is another feature I love about avast.

Cons:

Avast does most things automatically sometimes installing even programs I don't need. The last time I found out that avast installed its own avast secure browser and made it a default browser, an action that I did not authorize neither did I want an extra browser.

Avast Antivirus software protect the system from any virus

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I always use this software to save my data, information and documents because my system is free from any virus. And my system always secure and protected. Without Avast Antivirus our data and important information will be destroyed at anytime. But last and important thing that I must say about this software is that you can easily communicate with each other without any problem of virus attack.

Pros:

Avast Antivirus always protect the computer from any virus. You can easily transfer the information, files and important documents by using the Avast Antivirus. This software is very easy to use and always secure your computer from any virus. The one thing that I most liked about this software is that Avast Antivirus features are outstanding. Moreover, Avast Antivirus provide us that you can easily install the data in a more efficiently and effectively way.

Cons:

The one thing that I don't like about this software is that Avast Antivirus takes mush more time for downloading the large amount of information. There is a little bit complications created only for those who don't known about this software. Otherwise it is very efficient tool because we can easily transfer the information, files and documents with our friends and relatives through this software. The last thing that I don't liked about this software is that sometimes installation problems create without any problem.

Efficient protection that every business needs

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Overall I strongly recommend Avast to any business type. Because for today annual or monthly fees may seem higher to you, but considering the risk and results of any infections it worth to buy Avast.

Pros:

I was using Avast on my personal computer since many years and at work I convinced our director to switch to a better security. Avast has proven its reliability and effeiciency with advanced and realtime protection from multiple threads. What I like in avast is smart prediction feature which protect our servers and computers from dangerous infections before their attack. With a strong firewall avast always detects all activity on our server and computers and keeps dangerous malware and softwares away from us. Security is the main priority of all businesses and in order to keep their future ideas in a safe place Avast is the main solution for any business type. Before Avast I was afraid to attach any flash drive to work computer. Because most viruses use flash drives. But now when there is a suspicios flash drive I attach it to my computer very confidently thanks to Avast. Because it immediately detects and prevents dangerous viruses and suspicious behaviours.

Cons:

Sometimes Avast acts skeptical than normal and prevents me visiting some websites and installing some apps. Maybe such apps are not dangerous but some part of their algorithm seem suspicious and can steal information. Therefore avast prevents me installing such kind of apps.

Reliable anti-virus software

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

Starting with Avast Business is really easy, thanks to the simple configuration and minimal dashboard design that make it easy to navigate around to find the tools that i need. It protect me from viruses and malicious website content, as it will scanned the website first before it us loaded on my web browser.

Cons:

There are too many bloatware software that are coming with the installation of this software. I just need a simple anti-virus software that protect my computer, and it will be nice if they informing user before they loaded my computer with the add-on software. It has making my computer really slow.

Have been using Avast for years

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: As I stated above, I appreciate the additional features that allow me to securely access and delete PHI from my computer. I have always been pleased with Avast's antivirus capabilities as well.

Pros:

The features that Avast offers in the Pro Plus product allows me to work more securely from multiple locations. Whereas the antivirus software has always been top notch, the VPN technology has allowed me to work remotely over connections that previously would have not been secure. As someone who works in healthcare, working over an insecure internet connection would have risked PHI and is not an option for me. I also like the shredder feature for deleted files. Knowing that any PHI I may have locally can be deleted securely brings great comfort.

Cons:

Being able to turn on and off the VPN is not easily accomplished, at least I have not found an easy way to do it. Having a toggle feature on the dashboard would be helpful.

The most complete protection for companies in a single product

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: What I liked most about avast is its performance against other softwares (with some exceptions), the behavior and web shield is not aggressive and does not slow down the computer. Even the free version is still the same business because it uses the same antivirus search engine. Recommended 100%

Pros:

For more than 10 years avast products have been characterized as reliable. The business plus version contains the additional ones that your users need to be protected. The sandbox is excellent to test those files or programs that you have doubts, the rescue disk is perfect to recover the stations at a certain point, the software defender, the webcam shield, including creating a secure line of vpn are very important for data protection.

Cons:

Perhaps the negative point is that they have not yet developed for Linux distributions, and several antivirus houses have it in their products.

Avast the Best Antivirus Protection

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: When we are connected to the company network and when sharing files or documents, Avast can be little annoying with it’s safety measures. Although we trust the sender or receiver, still avast makes it difficult to get connected continuously.

Pros:

Avast was the best antivirus software I have ever comeup with. This is because, Avast won’t drop your pc speed. No matter which platform your are working on, Avast will work on your background and it will keep you protected as promised. But it will never interrupt or slow down your work which makes it the best among antivirus softwares.

Cons:

Avast is not good with phishing attacks. Although it is perfect as a antivirus software, vulnerable to phishing attacks. So always you need to be extra cautious of phishing attacks when you are browsing.

The ideal antivirus

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I have used other antivirus, some of them very famous and trusted, and I have never been able to find one with which I feel comfortable (until avast). You usually have constant pop-ups with warnings about simple tasks, which causes me fatigue and it takes me to uninstall the product. Avast is the only antivirus that for days does not emit a single annoying message, and for me, this is one of the most important factors. I´ll never change the antivirus again.

Pros:

1) Easy to use, configure and install. Comfortable dashboard. 2) It has no annoying warnings, notifications are always justified (for example, when you first run an application that is unknown to the antivirus). 3) Amazing extras, such as a virtual private network. This helped me a lot because the ISP that I use at home has some ports restricted. 4) Good performance and integration with your PC and mobile.

Cons:

Sometimes it blocks legitimate websites and I´ve to turn it off to prevent " false positives".
