Posted by shandireza on July 22nd, 2019

Avast Internet Security and Avast Premier are good choices for protecting your computers and mobile devices. Both did well in our in-house test for malware protection, and other test labs had similar results. We also learned that Avast’s automatic gaming mode makes both internet security and premium security suites excellent choices if you play a lot of games online.

During our testing of the best internet security suites, Avast earned 98 percent for malware protection. It prevented us from visiting websites with malicious downloads by displaying a warning message. If we visited a safe site, Avast’s icon in the right corner of our browser showed green. Malware downloads were interrupted, and we were given details about the threat including the type of threat, like a Trojan or rootkit. Because the program has secure delete, most threats were automatically removed from our system without ever hitting the quarantine folder.

Avast did miss several virus downloads, though. These were saved in various parts of our computer and were found during the full virus scan. Found threats were

sent to the quarantine folder for us to double-check before permanently deleting them.

Though Avast does have a free antivirus program, its paid versions come with more tools. Both Avast Internet Security and Premier have a personal firewall. This monitors your internet connection to see if anyone is using it to spy on you and gather personal information. It will also tell you if anyone is piggybacking on your connection, which causes your internet service to run slower. Avast also includes a vulnerability scanner with both paid versions. This looks for outdated software or weak passwords and helps you secure them better. This is invaluable because these are vulnerable points that hackers and ransomware often take advantage of.

The automatic gaming mode of this virus protection program recognizes when you are playing online and instinctively adds your gaming sites to its whitelist. It also suspends some functions while you play so you won’t experience any lag. But Avast is still running quietly in the background keeping you safe from any malware that may try to sneak in through popular gaming sites, chat messages or automatic downloads. When you are finished playing and navigate away from your game, Avast will disable its gamer mode and return to scheduled scans and deep cleans of your system.
