Avast reviews12/4/2023 ![]() Finally decided to just disable it permanently and uninstalled. In order to do anything else we had to disable Avast. The only thing we could do on the computer was local files, browse the web (no flash), or watch youtube. No file or printer shares, no network games of any kind (Steam, minecraft, WoW, Flash), restricted from common websites and long wait times for anything to load. At this point, all features of having the computer on a network was blocked by Avast. The next version did not fix it, the next version disabled all OUTGOING game traffic as well. Tried to get help with support, was told it would be fixed in the next version. In order to play or share files we had to disable Avast first. ![]() The next thing disabled 6 months ago was incoming connections for LAN games, preventing the user from participating in social games. The settings no longer matter, once Avast locks something down now, no matter what the user interface says, it is emphatically disabled. I went to the settings in Avast and re-enabled file sharing. It first blocked and disabled all file sharing (have 3 computers on the network) just over a year ago. The updates blocked numerous features on my computer. This software completely protected my PC for 4+ years. The fact that the first change they made going downhill was disabling the user interface settings from actually making changes was a tell-tale sign of the new direction. I feel like they were a great company but now have an incompetent manager handling the AV product. Otherwise I don't have any complains about it, it gets the job done and keeps my devices safe in my daily routine work. Since I mentioned add-on features I must say it would be great if they would give a longer trials on some of those features or maybe lower prices on some of them if possible. If you are a programmer I highly recommend turning your Avast Business software off while working on some code lines, it gets confusing sometimes and there is a possibility that your code lines will be recognized as possible treat ( I am speaking from personal experience). There are some software features which are built in as Avast add-ons, they are very useful, but there is a trick as always, those features can not be used until you upgrade your membership to premium, this a thing some users could find very annoying. ![]() Try it out the company allows a trial up to 30 days,don't be afraid of malwares and viruses anymore! CONS Security is not the only thing this software does, it can also be used to menage your computer files from time to time and it provides great VPN while surfing. After every scan is done with Avast antivirus, not only your computer will be cleaned form all junk, the software will also warn you about possible future treats that could harm your computer, after that you will have a option to chose do you want to manually remove the treats (if possible) or you want Avast to do it for you (it sometimes depends if your membership includes some features, so i recommend using Avast Business premium membership ). One of the best things for me which I personally like with Avast is using it on my other devices like tablet or a phone, because of software optimization that Avast company made and allowed. It is really good developed software that I completely trust with my cyber life and it had not disappointed me yet in all of these years as much as I can remember! PROSĮveryone out there who is trying to find a solution to protect their business computer, digital documents and files on their hard disk, this a right software for you that should do the trick and get a job done! Avast Business the antivirus software protects your computer from all kinds of viruses,malwares and junk files, for a solid price you get a premium account with a lot of security measures and advanced features, which are really helpful in keeping your important stuff safe and well protected even while browsing or downloading different files from all kinds of websites on the web. Company that I work for also uses Avast Business on their computers (probably because I recommended it), so you can basically say that I am surrounded with Avast security measures. I am using this software in my daily routine work, while surfing, sharing files or anything else, just as much as I use it in my personal life.
