It’s a competent, albeit expensive, VPN that doesn’t quite make it onto our best VPN list. It’s just a solicitation for Avast SecureLine VPN. In a public setting, it gives you an overview of all devices connected to the network so you know if there’s a hacker lurking among you.Īvast will warn you of a privacy vulnerability when using most features. It will scan all devices on home or public wi-fi for vulnerabilities, a quick way to know if your router or another device is infected. The last and most unique feature Avast Pro offers is Wi-Fi Inspector. It’s protection against DNS redirection which directs you from an authentic URL to a fake one where a hacker can steal usernames, passwords and credit card information. Avast uses real-time monitoring along with a feature called Real Site for spoof webpages. If you opt for your normal browser, there’s still protection. It’s a separate desktop for any online transactions, shielding you from exploits that could be carried out with a normal browser window. It’s similar to Bitdefender Safepay (read our Bitdefender Antivirus review). You can access Bank Mode inside Secure Browser or the Avast UI.

If anything, speeds are improved from the ad and flash blocks that Avast implements. It’s not the typical browser bundled with antivirus in that it gives you an extra layer of protection without forcing search engines or slowing speeds. It can’t grab files from streaming platforms like Netflix, though. Avast allows you to download video from platform like YouTube and Vimeo in native resolution. One of the unique extensions is a video downloader. The extensions aren’t available in the Chrome store, so Secure Browser is the only way you can access them. Of the list, you’ll have tracker blocking, extension protection, adblock and anti-phishing. You won’t have quick links to your Gmail or Drive account here.įrom what we can tell, it’s a version of Chrome without Google integration and filled up with Avast extensions. It looks and function identical to Google Chrome but without the Google integration. This is particularly useful for pirates that hoard data from around the web (check out our best VPN for torrenting if you fit that description).Īvast includes its Secure Browser as well. Something unique to Avast is Sandbox mode where you can test suspicious files in a safe environment. We recommend using one of our best password managers such as Dashlane for more flexibility (read our Dashlane review).Īn included password manager is something we’ve seen before, such as from Kaspersky (read our Kaspersky Antivirus review). It’ll store logins, credit cards and notes and automatically fill them in your browser. The password manager isn’t much in the context of our password manager reviews. Outside of that, you have a sandbox mode for testing files, a password manager and more. You have protection against basic malware along with secure browsing, network protection and behavior monitoring.

Avast Pro fills that gap well with a nice list of features but there are some compromises that had to be made to get there.Īvast Pro has a slew of features that makes the competition look embarrassing, at least for the price. Overall, it fits a lesser served part of the market, those who want to pay for a robust antivirus without going off the deep end. We’ll also compare lab results to our hands-on testing to see how well it has you protected. We’ll talk features, pricing, user friendliness, protection and support before giving our verdict. In this Avast Pro review, we’ll run over the features and protection this antivirus offers. It takes a backseat to the best antivirus software in terms of protection, but by a small enough margin to make it a serious contender. The paid Pro version comes with some extra features, at least enough to justify its low price tag. It’s feature-rich, system light and pretty secure, to boot. We cannot, in good faith, recommend Avast or AVG products until we look further into the issue.Īvast has long been a go-to choice for free antivirus.
