NEW
Game or movie time.
Now uninterrupted
We’ve renamed Game Mode and taught it some new tricks. Now called Do Not Disturb Mode, it blocks distracting popups whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or presenting in fullscreen.

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.      This is no run-of-the-mill free antivirus
On top of our latest features, we cover essential intelligent threat-detection and real-time protection with such a light touch on your PC, you never even know it’s there.


Intelligent Antivirus
Detect and block viruses, malware, spyware, ransomware and phishing. We use smart analytics to stop threats before they affect you.

CyberCapture
Automatically send suspicious files for analysis in the cloud, and push a cure to all Avast users if it's a threat.

Wi-Fi Inspector
Automatically detect weaknesses in your home Wi-Fi and strangers piggybacking on your network.

Smart Scan
Find all those cracks which allow malware to slip in, from unsafe settings and passwords to suspicious add-ons and out-of-date software.    https://www.avast.com/en-us/how-avast-protects-you        More layers equal Better Security
In the unlikely event a threat slips past one security layer, others are waiting to catch it. And cloud-based artificial intelligence constantly updates it all against emerging threats. Click below to see how this adds up to the best-ever protection for you and your PC.    DOWNLOAD PROTECTION
We stop threats before they reach your PC
Even legitimate websites can get hacked, so we scan every piece of data that travels to your computer. The scan is so insanely quick, you shouldn’t notice any slowdown when browsing.

Web Shield blocks known malware from downloading to your PC while you browse the web.

Email Shield works with installed email clients like Outlook and Thunderbird to strip malicious attachments from messages before they’re downloaded to — or sent from — your PC.

FILE SHIELD
Threats that get this far are scanned again on your PC
In the unlikely event that you ever manage to download malware, don’t worry. We won’t let it harm your PC.

Whenever you execute a file, File Shield immediately scans it. If the file is malicious, it’s safely moved to our Virus Chest to prevent it from harming your PC (or spreading to other PCs).

BEHAVIOR SHIELD
We watch all apps for malicious behavior
On rare occasions, a persistent piece of malware may sneak through the usual antivirus defenses. Thankfully, Avast is just as persistent, and never stops watching for malicious behavior.

Behavior Shield uses advanced artificial intelligence to monitor all running apps in real-time for malicious behavior. If any is detected, Behavior Shield immediately stops the app and locks it away in our Virus Chest.

CYBER CAPTURE
Any malware still around faces another hundreds of millions of layers of security.
The more users we have, the stronger we become. That’s because each of our hundreds of millions of users acts as a sensor to detect even the newest, never-before-seen forms of malware.

If you try to open a file that we don’t recognize (and might be dangerous), CyberCapture will block it and upload it to our servers for deeper analysis. If it’s malicious, we’ll push a cure out to you and our hundreds of millions of users.

RANSOMWARE SHIELD
Avast Free Antivirus protects against ransomware
Our free antivirus now ensures that your documents, photos, and other important files are protected by advanced ransomware security.

Ransomware Shield (available with Avast Free Antivirus and Premium Security) stops both ransomware and untrusted apps from changing, deleting, or locking personal photos and files in your protected folders.      Big Grin Thumb Thumbs Up
