Avast Business Antivirus

Overall: Avast is protecting our PCs and we haven’t encountered a virus for a while now. Previously, we had a real struggle to keep our computers clean of those beasts but now everything is simple and there is one worry less. Once configured properly it protects your PC just as other antivirus software should do but most times some viruses slip in undetected. It really is set it and forget it and is worth every penny.
Pros: Avast protects PCs in our companies for more than 2 years now and we never had an incident with viruses, malware, or ransomware. Virus database automatically updates every few hours so your computers are always protected with the latest malware definitions. That is really important because malware is evolving in minutes nowadays. Our system administrator can enforce policies that automatically quarantine suspicious files and everything important is displayed to him in a nice-looking dashboard. I was a user of antivirus don’t even know that antivirus is running. All I can see is just a little icon in the taskbar and that is all. If I try to remove it or close it, I can’t because our system administrator configured a policy that doesn’t allow normal users to do that. Other than virus protection, Avast offers a lot more. Automatic cleanup of junk files on PC can be really handy because I often forgot to empty my recycle bin and it uses system storage unnecessarily. There is also a sandboxed browser that allows us to enter banking systems safely and securely even if the main browser is compromised.
Cons: Avast can sometimes be a real resource hog and slow down your computer. I certainly can feel that the computer is sometimes not as responsive as it was before Avast was installed but that only lasts for a couple of seconds and if you are using resource-intensive applications like CAD or some other software like that, you know how important is responsiveness and even seconds can matter.

What do you like best?
I’ve used the free version of Avast for 10+ years, but with the premium version costing so little for way better tools and features, it was a no-brainer.

What do you dislike?
Unfortunately, some features that sound like they are included with the premium subscription aren’t – specifically SecureLine VPN (I wanted to watch content out of my region), which has its own separate subscription fee (but a week-long trial without needing a card, so you can try it out risk-free).

What do you like best?
You can use a free 30-day trial, where you can see if it’s the solution for your business. Avast is able to stay alert while you browse and find possible threats, giving a good sense of security on the network. It also has a VPN option, giving anonymity for moments you want. Its price is also well taken into account.

What do you dislike?
It may not detect some more advanced and better designed threats, as well as not identifying spam well.
