What’s inside the latest version?
A beautifully intuitive interface, advanced application protection, a new passive mode for running multiple security products in parallel — and a little something for you gamers and movie buffs.
Avoid becoming the victim of digital extortion
Ransomware is quickly becoming one of the most common — and dangerous — types of malware out there. Avast Free Antivirus protects your devices against havoc-wreaking ransomware so you don’t become the victim of digital extortion.
Why cloud backup may not be enough to save you
It's always a good habit to backup your files in the cloud in case disaster strikes and you become a victim of a ransomware attack. The problem is that the ransomware-encrypted version of your files is immediately synced with the cloud too, so unless your backup solution also stores historical versions of your files, you're in trouble.
