Two different antivirus tools for two different budgets
Avast isn’t the only antivirus developer that has a free version of their product released. However, most of them are usually actually free trials or are way too limited in terms of functionality.
These two products are:
- Avast Free Antivirus
- Avast Premium Security
One surprising feature about Avast Antivirus is the fact that their free version is soo feature-packed, that it pretty much stands on its own as an antivirus tool if you aren’t looking for something too complicated.
Here are the benefits of Avast Free Antivirus:
- Real-time virus and spyware protection
- Ransomware protection
Avast Premium Security has all the benefits of the Free version, along with:
- Protection against unauthorized remote control of your PC
- Browser-stored password protection
- Fake website protection
- Webcam protection
- Advanced firewall
Regardless of which you choose, the bottom line is that your PC will be vastly more protected compared to how it would have been without any antivirus at all.
One thing worth mentioning is that, like all software utilities, Avast Antivirus can still encounter the occasional error, and that is why we’ve created a dedicated Avast Fix section, so don’t hesitate to visit and maybe even bookmark our page if you have any issues.
