Avast free review windows
The new interface of Avast is well laid out, with clear distinctions between its different elements and easy-to-use blue icons (with orange accents derived from the logo of the company) to help you identify the suite's capabilities. On the homepage, you can run scans, switch on the VPN and also access shortcuts to some not-so-useful tools for system optimization. The fact that the most useful features are hidden in the "Explore tab" is quite frustrating.
Installation is simple, and you're never tempted to choose the free version, though the full scan may reveal "advanced issues" that can only be addressed by paying for premium security. This feels a little sneaky particularly when the Resolve button redirects you to a webpage that asks you to sign for Avast's Premium security plan. Avast sells the user's data, too, according to a Which? article published in 2020. magazine.
