The avast Ultimate is an anti-virus program that provides a full protection suite for computers, smartphones and tablets against spyware and malware. It also protects them from viruses, ransomware and other malicious software. The suite comes with powerful security features, such as advanced anti-tracking technology, an VPN to ensure maximum privacy online and top tuneup and cleanup tools. Its advanced malware engine earned an excellent detection rate in my testing and even caught several phishing attacks which were able to get through the default security features.
It is Avast’s top overall package that combines all of their top security and performance capabilities into one comprehensive suite. Its sophisticated antivirus cybersecurity protection block all types of malware such as ransomware. It also includes an VPN to ensure maximum online privacy as well as top tuneup and cleaning tools, as well as a password manager. The Wi-Fi Inspector tool can examine your home or office network for weaknesses. The AntiTrack feature will prevent 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 simultaneously. Avast also has a single-device plan, as well as the more specialized Avast Cleanup Premium feature.
Avast’s security suite is easy to use and its interface is largely intuitive. Its multi-device licenses make it a good choice for families, and its free version is more than adequate to protect against malware and other threats. The customer support is good, but it takes a few steps to get human help.
