I’ve been using Avast free and paid versions for over 20 years on multiple devices like all my phones IPhones and Androids plus every single laptop and computer I’ve ever owned. I used to use Norton because always came pre-installed on every computer it is well known BUT is very expensive especially when you have Dad devices, mom devices and multiple kid’s devices and could be in hundreds that quickly. It is an huge file and it slows the device down DRAMATICALLY so much you don’t even want to use the device so I started researching for something different and that didn’t slow down the devices and came upon Avast and been in love ever since. The “Free” version is very good (as long as you do weekly or daily scans. You notice the device speed difference immediately when compared to Norton (ANY ONE OF VERSIONS). I was an network administrator college student and always recommended this software because of the security, ease of use and the price! Free 99 is very affordable and appealing to a college student on a ramen noodle budget lol. Ultimately this and other Avast products are EXCELLENT!! Always choose Avast over other “Free” apps because you’ll have strong protections without the big bill. 😊 Best Fre/Paid App in apple or Google store!!!

I’m grateful this product continues to be made available for free after all these years. Avast has always had a solid reputation, and their efforts to stay competitive are evident in their real-world protection rates against zero-day threats, thanks to next-generation AI and machine learning. I don’t yet have the capital to justify investing in a cold wallet (I do have an MPC wallet), so I use a dedicated iPhone with always-on VPN (in case of malicious actors grabbing the IP from a transaction to try a direct attack) for my wallet apps, and nothing else. While iOS prevents antivirus from being able to block files, it can still help by blocking access to malicious domains at the network level. I went to an unfamiliar DEX in Trust Wallet’s Web3 browser, and, sure enough, Avast blocked it. It also blocks malicious iFrames on legitimate sites, so I can visit them while still having protection against cross-site scripting. And it coexists perfectly with my VPN. Nothing is 100% immune to hacking, not even a cold wallet. But with the combined layers of iOS security, App Store vetting, IP masking, and Web filtering (as well as my use of unique and complex passwords, 2FA, and biometrics), I’m about as close as a hot wallet can possibly get.

I was traumatized from System Mechanic/iolo customer service and thankfully they gave me a refund for my entire account so I can switch. They tried to take control of my computer through remote session, would not let me move my mouse to cancel the session and tried to sell me $240 for several years of live tech. Would not listen to me when I said no several times. I was done. Found out avast had everything an antivirus software needs and decided to buy it. I had some trouble setting up a feature so I called customer service. They are fantastic. They didn’t even try to sell me another product and helped me fix my issue. I am buying everything they have on all my devices.

I downloaded this app along with the other Avast apps as well as installed Avast software onto my laptop because research and reviews say this is a highly rated and reputable software to use. Although I have learned that is lot accurate. Based on other software I am using and comparing those to this company, the results from Avast are not 100% NOT accurate. According to the other softwares and my credit reports, my identity has been stolen and my information is being sold online and has been for quite sometime due to many different channels; breaches and phishing through my emails and browsing history. My computer and phone was hacked on 6/15 by a Trojan that was implanted on 3/18. Since then I have had some alarming signs whoever is behind it may still be in one of my emails I have monitored by this app. According to those other softwares, each has detected one or more of these compromising matters. This software, after each scan says my identity and information is not compromised or of a concern to be alarmed about or to look into further for resolution. Disappointing and now even more concerning because I gave my information to another company for a possibility for more information to be leaked.
