AVAST FREE ANTIVIRUS 2016 REVIEW

Avast is one of the three main contenders in the free antivirus world, AVG and Avira being the other two. As with those two, there are paid-for products in Avast’s range with more features, but the free version has several useful features of its own. 

Avast makes quite a thing about its free antivirus offering, giving a good breakdown of its feature set and companion programs online, as well as, naturally, offering a range of upgrades to commercial products. It offers two main functions: antivirus protection and potentially unwanted application (PUA) detection, for when bad apps piggy-back themselves on legitimate downloads.

There’s also a network scanner, which looks at your network settings and passwords and suggests improvements to increase their strength. The free package doesn’t include anti-spam or a firewall and you’ll need to upgrade for password protection, too.

Free protection can be extended, though, by adding Avast Browser Safety, also a free download, which prevents ad networks from tracking your movements online, blocks harmful web sites and offers, slightly unexpectedly, a price comparison when shopping. There are free Avast AV apps for Mac, Android and iOS, too, so you could protect all your devices with pretty much the same software.

The main control screen is very clearly laid out and makes wide use of tiles, demarcating all the important information. There’s more info than you often get in free AV products, too, with a good statistics module covering both the work the software has done on the local computer and what it has achieved for its customers globally
