Avast review windows for free
The new interface from Avast is nicely laid-out, with clear demarcation between its different elements and easy-to-use blue icons (with orange accents from the logo of the company) to highlight the suite’s features. The homepage lets you run a scan and switch on the VPN, while shortcuts to a few useful tools for optimisation of your system are also available. However the fact that the majority of Avast’s other features are hidden away under the “Explore” tab is a little frustrating.
Installation is simple, and you’re not obliged to choose the free version. However, a thorough scan will find “advanced problems” that require premium security in order to fix. It’s a bit shady and especially when the Resolve button redirects you to a page that asks you to sign to Avast’s Premium security plan. Avast also sells user information, which was uncovered in a 2020 article from Which? magazine.
