Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Avast is an incredible antivirus that has positioned itself very well within our entire company, mainly because it has managed to eliminate well-hidden threats and it has also protected our web browsing, with the help of antivirus I have been able to have protection on various devices Simultaneously, one of the features that I like about this platform that allows me to have a fairly fast scan and with a high threat detection percentage rate, these quick scans consume a lot of computer resources but they are really worth it, since you can perform an analysis in five minutes and find threats on your hard drive, I really liked this type of analysis very much, since it allows me to carry out analyzes in very little time and find well-hidden threats. Another positive aspect that must be highlighted within this antivirus is that it is updated automatically, the virus database is updated weekly, so that they are registered and that it is much easier to detect them, that these automated authorizations allow me to I have loved it a lot, since I don't have to carry out an update process manually, the platform does it automatically. Another positive aspect of this platform is that you can update the Drivers of your computer thanks to this antivirus, it has an implemented function which allows detecting the missing Drivers inside your computer, which helps you to update your Drivers with just pressing a button . Another positive effect of this antivirus is that its main configuration process is quite simple, when you install it, also, you do not have to review any type of configuration in the Firewall or other sections of the computer, Avast will do the installation configuration process automatically.
  • Avast has made it possible for us to have constant security while we browse the internet, while we download anything on our computer or while we access specific pages. I loved Avast because it allows me to completely modify the scanning method of my computer, it allows me to use a quick scan but it also allows me to use a much more advanced scan that takes longer, but offers better results since it is capable of getting threats hard to detect. What I love about Avast is that this platform is constantly updated, the virus database is updated up to 5+ times a week which helps our database is always adding certificates of new threats coming out around the clock. world, so that it is easier to detect and eliminate them in time. I liked the Driver update function, despite the fact that Windows 11 takes care of installing the most recent updates when I install the OS for the first time, this antivirus takes care of offering me immediate and automatic updates for each of the drivers, that's what I like. has liked. Avast also allows you to add any of the infected files to the "quarantine" section, this is great as I can remove threats from a file without removing it completely.
  • Avast is an antivirus that has meant a lot to us, mainly because of the great security it has provided us between various devices, the first thing I liked about this virus is the ability it has for a single subscription to work on multiple devices, a single subscription me It allows you to protect up to more than 10 devices, where I can access mobile devices and computers, this is quite beneficial since I can protect several devices at the same time. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it has a built-in browser system, when this antivirus is installed for the first time on the computer, a browser is automatically installed which you can use to access any website, in addition, this Browser imports all the information you have stored in your other browsers, so you can access the browsing history and favorite tabs that you have stored in other browsers. Another of the things that I liked about this antivirus is that it is capable of allowing me to modify the speed or the way in which my computer is analyzed, I can modify the analysis, I can configure it to be a quick scan or an advanced scan, too. It is important to note that even though the advanced scan consumes a lot of computer resources, it is really worth it, as the scan takes much longer to complete but is capable of finding threats that were well hidden.
  • + I like that it has the ability to select the depth of the scan, this allows me to take a quick look at my files that I have on a USB drive or perform a quick scan since I need to use the maximum power of my computer without it antivirus gets in the way In another measure I can also have more personalized scans on which exact location I want Avast to investigate further or I can simply choose whether to scan the entire computer deeply for maximum protection. + Allows me to measure the traffic of my entire business network in order to be more protected against any attack or threat that we are not aware of. This is essential since there are generally many vulnerabilities in the network and hardly anyone takes this into account, as well as a company we must be protected at all times and Avast does this job very well. + Virus detection is instantaneous, I have had cases of USB devices where they have been on computers with malicious files and when they have reached my computer they have been blocked instantly when I insert the infected USB drive. + I can connect multiple devices with my Avast account and be able to see the status of each of them. This way I have more control and protection over any threat and not only be protected on my PC. + Analyzes all websites when I'm browsing, this has allowed me to know which sites are safe in case I don't know what I'm getting into. In general, I use common sense and try to navigate cautiously, but with Avast it has given me the ability to quickly know which sites I shouldn't enter, in addition to avoiding malicious advertising that generally appears in pop-up windows on download sites.
  • Avast is an antivirus that is very worthwhile since it allows you to protect each of the computers of a company in a fairly comprehensive way. One of the first functions that I liked about this platform is the function of analysis in search of threats, since it this function was able to allow me to choose the way in which I can scan my computer, this function allows me to scan my computer quickly, but it also has a built-in function to scan a specific folder, as well as allow you to generate scans and search for threats in a much more advanced way, this analysis takes much more time and consumes much more computer resources but it is more accurate in the search for threats, I consider that the search for threats of this virus is very well enhanced and allows threats to be detected quickly. Another of the features that I liked about this platform is the quarantine function, this function allows you to add a file so that it does not affect more places on the hard drive, this function allows the infected file to remain trapped inside the antivirus, and cannot spread Inside the computer, this function is very important to me because every time I find a new threat, I include it inside this function so that it does not affect more places on the computer. Another thing that I liked about this virus is that it has a function to update the Drivers of the computer, this function is very important since on some occasions I have had outdated Drivers, this antivirus is capable of automatically detecting this and sends me recommendations and notifications to update us immediately.

Cons

  • The only negative effect that I have come to notice about the antivirus is how strict its web shield is, despite the fact that the web shield of this antivirus has been to my liking because it has correctly protected my browsing, on some occasions I consider that it is quite strict , since it has blocked access to various pages that are fully trusted but not so recognized, that is why this antivirus detects those pages as suspicious and does not allow me to enter them, the same thing happens when I try to download some type of file inside an unknown or unreliable server, the antivirus automatically blocks that download and there is no way to process that download, the only way to process it is to temporarily disable the web shield, and I find this process quite annoying, I You would like to download files and navigate calmly on any website without this web shield being so strict.
  • The most notable disadvantage that new users who are considering using Avast on a continuous basis may find is that this antivirus is quite limited when you are using a free version or trial version, these versions do not allow you to update drivers, they allow you to use the Avast browser on a limited basis and also has limitations on operating system updates with Avast. I do not recommend those free versions at all, I totally recommend the Premium version of Avast, you will achieve better results and gain access to important features to upgrade your computers.
  • One of the main negative things about this antivirus is that it is quite annoying when it is constantly updated every day, since it sends annoying notifications every time the database has been updated, this can interrupt my work activities, and I really have not found a way to disable this notification is not bothering my computer. Another of the negative things about this antivirus is that the vast majority of functions are only available within the paid version, currently the free version only allows you to perform a quick scan and does not allow you to access important functions such as updating the operating system or driver update. Another of the negative things that the antivirus has is that it does not have correct compatibility with many operating systems, I have had the Windows 8 operating system installed on my computer, and the antivirus installed, when this antivirus is installed automatically the operating system of my The computer has stopped working, the computer has restarted automatically and I was never able to access my operating system correctly anymore, since the installation of antivirus in this operating system causes a total mess, This antivirus is not compatible with the operating system of Windows 8, which caused me to completely format my computer to be able to use this antivirus, I do not recommend that this antivirus be used on very old versions of Windows.
  • - Even having a PC with good features Avast cannot avoid consuming a large amount of resources causing my computer to slow down, preventing me from doing my day-to-day tasks when it is performing a scheduled scan. If I could have the ability to choose how many resources Avast can take, it would be fine for me, since it would give me more control and also it would not interfere with my work when there is a scheduled scan involved. Also, I wouldn't have to postpone the scan when I'm busy at my computer but just let it run in the background in case I could control the resources Avast consumes. - Ignores certain malicious files but sends some common files that are important to me to quarantine without even being malicious. It doesn't always happen, but it does happen from time to time and sometimes I have to remove certain malicious files manually, which is frustrating and dangerous for my company since I don't know when I might have a virus. - On mobile devices it does not work entirely well, although it does detect certain malicious links and applications that may have a back door that Google has not detected. Avast does not detect everything on my smartphone, I have seen that some viruses on the SD card do not detect them at all. Another point is that when it does a scan my whole phone gets saturated, impossible to do anything since it seems to use all the resources of my phone, even if it is in the background it doesn't seem to care about the other apps, it first scans for threats and then let it continue with what it is doing and this should not be the case. My only solution has been to run scans while I sleep. - Compressed files like .rar or .zip are prone to being parsed very slowly, I don't understand why. In addition, Avast has not been able to scan compressed files with a password, posing a security risk by having to unzip the file for it to be scanned. What reassures me is that virus detection is very immediate, making the virus unable to do almost anything, unless it is faster.
  • There are several things that I did not like about Avast. One of the main things that I did not like about this virus is the free version, since this free version is practically useless, it only allows you to scan your computer quickly, it does not allow make full scans, also, if the user wants to remove any threat that you have found with that antivirus, you will have to use a paid version, since it is not possible to remove it like the free version, in addition, the vast majority of functions of this platform are locked inside free version, can't clean RAM card and improve computer performance, this function is locked inside free version, also can't update Drivers and also can't scan for threat inside Internet network of your computer, In conclusion, this free version is absolutely useless and I do not recommend it for new users. Another of the features that I did not like about this antivirus is the Sandbox function, because this function allows Virtualization to run applications or run an entire operating system, however, when running an operating system virtually , this causes the winner to be greatly affected, since the consumption is very high, this function is not really recommended if you are using a computer that does not have a good capacity, since it will have problems when executing the Virtualization.
