Antivirus protection
Avast Antivirus offers its users ultimate protection in the form of a signature-based scanner that can compare software against the database of a known malware. In case, it is an unknown malware, Avast’s Behavior Shield monitoring plays a major role in observing the way each of the component of the new software acts. It also analyses the content that gets uploaded to Avast’s cloud servers. Once this is done, the new malware gets added to the malware-signature database. The Internet Security plan ensures that you can browse through the different websites without falling prey to malicious activities on the Internet. However, as the free version doesn’t offer personal firewall protection, you can always upgrade to the other more powerful plans.
