Avast’s free review windows

Avast’s interface is easy to use, with an easy separation of the different elements. The blue icons are simple to use and come with orange accents that are in line with the logo of the company. The homepage allows you to conduct a scan and turn on the VPN and shortcuts to a few not-very-useful system optimisation tools are also available. The fact that Avast’s most important features are hidden away in the «Explore tab» is quite frustrating.

Installation is easy, and you’re not pushed into a free version, but a full scan can detect «advanced issues» that will only be solved by paying for premium security. This is a bit sneaky and especially when the Resolve option takes you to a webpage that asks you to sign up for Avast’s Premium security how to cancel total av auto-renewal plan. Avast also sells user information, which was uncovered in a story published in 2020 by Which? magazine.
