Avast business Antivirus- best defence against cyberthreats
It's an excellent experience to start using Avast Business Antivirus, the best solution to counter cyber threats. I am still a passionate user of this fantastic tool and enjoying its features with the comfort of a secure PC.
PROSAvast Business Antivirus provides excellent data security against viruses and malware in a very reasonable yearly plan. There is no free version, but a free trial is a better option to understand this fantastic tool's working efficiency. I have been using Avast business Antivirus for a long time, and it's a tremendous antivirus that saves my precious data from cyber threats. I never got frustrated by unwanted interruptions from the software. Automatically updates when Connecting with the internet. It blocks unwanted content and suggests to me how to protect my PC from viruses. It runs quietly on the backend and consumes minimal memory. Indicate and efficiently remove the threats. Avast provides me with add Block, Bank Privacy, and so many other cool features.
CONSIn a full scan, it seems to be slow but gives accurate results at the end. I did not find anything to be less liked.

A Highly Recommended Antivirus Software
Avast provides an excellent antivirus software that keeps my computer and files safe, and I highly recommend it.
PROSEven on the free trial plan, Avast has a wide array of capabilities. It can easily scan all of my files for potential viruses in minutes, and you can choose whether to scan everything or a certain folder. Upon downloading a file, you can also right click in said folder to run a scan in moments before opening. Luckily I haven't come across a virus yet, but it's my understanding that it would automatically scan and alert if one were to be present. Avast also saves me from landing on sites and blocks pop-ups or ads that may contain malware.
CONSThere have been pop-up messages every once in awhile that recommend removing what Avast deems to be "clutter" but are actually rather important files.

Costly for what you get
Overall I think it is working to protect our info, but they constantly want you to fear you need more coverage and it gets old when you think you are protected well enough.
PROSI wanted the computer protection and it does protect from some things. It brought peace of mind with the business personal info. I watched it stop a few hacks.
CONSAvast asks you daily to upgrade. They constantly tell you that your computer is at risk and want you to add features for more money.

My review on Avast Business Antivirus
My experience with Avast Business Antivirus has been good and it is my favorite antivirus and I use it to protect my PC.
PROSAvast Business Antivirus offers several features. Avast Business Antivirus offers a free trial which helps the user before upgrading to the paid version. The price for the paid version is affordable. Its price is also reasonable if we consider its efficiency and its qualities. Avast Business Antivirus sends notifications about security issues and advises users on the security of their devices. Avast Business Antivirus is easy to use and It blocks unwanted content easily.
CONSWhat I don't like about Avast Business Antivirus is that it takes too long to scan all the files. when Avast Business Antivirus is activated, some functions on PC become difficult to perform, forcing me to deactivate Avast first.

A reliabe antivirus software
Avast is a reliable antivirus software that offers round the clock protection. Avast has provided a lot of data protection and security since it works efficiently to scan, detect, and report any threats on my devices. Moreover, if any threats have been detected, Avast moves swiftly to notify me and recommend the necessary actions that must taken so that my devices are protected.
PROSI like that the software provides round the clock protection, which keeps my devices and data safe. The software regularly checks for any threats on my devices like viruses or malware and promptly notifies me when any threat is detected. Moreover, the software provides details about the threats and the actions that must be taken. Therefore, the software provides a lot of data security which protect me and my devices from cyber attacks.
CONSSometimes the software causes my laptop to crash, which is very inconvenient. Moreover, I am bombarded by a lot of ads which has left me frustrated and annoyed several times.

Best Quality Protection for your devices
Avast Business Antivirus is an all in one package for high-end security for devices. It has a 30-day free trial which is very much enough to test using this software. Built-in VPN with Avast is very interesting and helps you strongly to stay hidden at needed times. I personally have used this antivirus for almost 3 years now and I'm totally loving this.
PROS-Easy to install -Compatible with almost every operating system -Features VPN and File Shredder too -Constant updates with new antivirus definitions -Consumes CPU power efficiently -Has Built-in patch management
CONS-Design is not so nice and responsive -Sometimes it runs random startup system scan -Lacks management on mobile devices

Review of Avast Business Antivirus- Best antivirus
It is best for small business as well as we can use it for personal computer also. As the price is little high we can comprise the price due to the best security features.
PROSIt has clean modern interface and easy to use. It has good threat, malware's detection capabilities and detects in realtime. It is compatible with most of the operating systems. It autoscans the external storage devices when connected, if any threats are found it is patched in realtime without hampering the PC. It has variety of features included like wifi scanner, file Shredder, website scans during surfing (blocks website if threats are found), VPN, sandbox,etc.
CONSDuring full scan, the device gets little bit laggy. It shows several pop-up notification which might be annoying while working. Pricing is little higher as compared to others.

It never gave me problems, good antivirus!
It's the antivirus that I use on my personal computers and it always worked for me, so everything is fine.
PROSIt's easy to use and beautiful to look at, the functions are complete (even in its free version) and adding an exception is very easy, a task that I do constantly.
CONSSomething I don't like is that in the installation it offers to install third-party software, you can choose not to install it but it's still annoying.

Great Anti-Virus software
Over all I al happy with Avast, and will probably continue to use it.
PROSI chose Avast Anti-virus software after taking advantage of the free trial. The paid version has a lot of added benefits, and I find the software easy and clear, with a customer-friendly look. The price is very reasonable compared to many other anti-virus software on the market.
CONSI was automatically upgraded after the free trial and charged without warning, although I believe the software to be worth the price so in the end, it wasn't a bad thing.

The best
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied and our company will continue using Avast for the foreseeable future.
PROSThis product is a breeze to use, even for our team members who aren't "tech savvy." The remote features allow our IT to ensure all devices on our network are safe.
CONSOccasionally the firewall will block programs that are safe and that I need to use as a part of my daily workflow. It's unclear whether this would happen with competitor programs as well.
Vendor Response
Hi Brett, Thank you for your feedback. If a defined network is not provided or when the network profile of the firewall is set to public, this often causes the firewall to be overprotective.

A Competent and Great Antivirus to Counter the Harmful and Threatening Virus
Avast Business Antivirus has multiple advanced security features that are significantly impressive. The scanning feature is particularly fascinating as this antivirus scans my device and notifies me about the possible dangers that can cause harm to my computer.
CONSThe principal disappointing part of Avast Business Antivirus is its intricate setup procedure. The complete setup procedure is too lengthy and time-consuming. I feel that the setup procedure could be friendlier.
