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 back up 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.
Your game or movie time is now uninterrupted
We’ve renamed Game Mode and taught it some extra tricks. Now called Do Not Disturb Mode, it blocks distracting pop-ups whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or presenting in full-screen mode.
Introducing Behavior Shield
We don’t just check your applications for malware. We now keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they don’t suddenly go rogue.
Fast, light, and powerful free protection.
