The avast Ultimate is an antivirus program that offers a complete protection suite for tablets, smartphones, and desktops against malware and spyware. It also protects users from ransomware, viruses and other malicious software. The suite is packed with powerful security features, such as advanced anti-tracking protection and the ability to use a VPN for maximum online privacy as well as top tuneup and cleanup tools. In my tests the advanced malware engine was able to detect 100% of malware with a 100% detection rate. It even caught some fraudulent attempts to phish that went through Chrome and Firefox’s default security.
It is Avast’s top overall package that combines all of their top performance and security features into a complete suite. Its advanced cybersecurity features will block all types of malware such as ransomware. It also includes an VPN to ensure your online privacy to the maximum along with the best tools for cleaning and tuning and a password management tool. The Wi-Fi Inspector tool can check your office or home network for weaknesses. The AntiTrack feature will block online trackers from taking and sharing your personal data.
All of these features are accessible for both Windows and Android devices. Avast’s multi-device licensing allows you to use it on up to ten platforms simultaneously. Avast also has a single-device plan and the more specialized Avast Cleanup Premium feature.
Avast’s security suite is intuitive and easy to use. Its multi-device licenses make it a good option for families, and its free version is more than sufficient to safeguard against malware and other threats. Its customer support is excellent, but it requires a few steps to get human help.
