And, if that's not enough, you can create custom scan types to do whatever you like.

#AVAST CLEANUP REVIEW MOBILE FULL#

There's a Deep Scan (previously called a Full Scan) to check your entire system a Targeted Scan which examines specific files or folders, and a Boot-Time Scan to check for threats before Windows fully starts. The Smart Scan and Avast's real-time protection should spot most threats, but the package has plenty of other options.

(It doesn't look for missing software patches, unlike the previous Avast Antivirus, although you can still do this manually.) Launch this with a click and it runs a 10-15 second Quick Scan for malware, combined with checks for dubious browser add-ons and PC performance issues. Overall, Avast One's dashboard looks great, and is easy for beginners to use, but also makes it simple to discover and access the suite's more advanced features.Īvast One's antivirus features begin with the Smart Scan.

Several options aren't available in the free Avast One Essentials (Webcam Protection, Web Hijack Guard, Driver Updater, and more.) Some free apps don't mark these, so you're forever clicking buttons and being told 'Can't have that until you upgrade, you freeloader.' Avast highlights options you can't use with a padlock, a smarter approach that makes One Essential much more comfortable to use. And if you don't understand something - what is 'File Shield', exactly? - clicking the option gets you a simple explanation (the File Shield allows Avast to scan every file you access to make sure it's safe.) But it's easier to understand what's on offer when you can see everything in one place, rather than browsing around a number of tabs. Just scroll down and there are shortcuts to scans, the VPN, and others, and you can run them all in a couple of clicks.Ĭlicking the Explore button displays a full list of Avast One's features, which does look a little more complicated. Looking to run a scan, connect to the VPN, or accelerate your system, for instance? No need to go browsing through various tabs, then try to remember wherever everything is. None of them made the tiniest difference to the package, which continued to protect me as usual.Īvast One interface has a light and airy look, with friendly graphics and speedy access to all of One's core features. These involve attempting to delete files, change Registry settings, stop or disable services, close processes, unload drivers, and more. There was more good news in my self-protection tests, where I launched a number of attacks on Avast One to see if malware could disable it. There are too many variables to make any guarantees, but it's at least possible that installing and setting up Avast One could leave your system faster than it was before. That's based on Avast One Essentials and without using any of Avast's speedup tools, either. Previously Avast software slowed me down a little more than average, but this time I found no measurable difference at all.

#AVAST CLEANUP REVIEW MOBILE INSTALL#

There is a place on the install where you can unclick this option, but you have to look for it because it is in pretty small print. However, as with all Avast antivirus solutions, it will try and install the Avast Browser and make it your default. Compare Avast One subscriptionsĪvast One's installer isn't as customizable so you don't get to pick and choose the tools you want to download. Premium protects 30 devices for $119.88 per year. This is actually a good feature to have because it keeps tabs on your personal information notifying you if it is used illegally or sold on the black web, and will help you recover your identity after a breach. The only tool added to Avast One Premium is identity monitoring. Also, you have unlimited VPN use and can connect to any server in over 50 locations worldwide.

#AVAST CLEANUP REVIEW MOBILE PASSWORD#

This mid-tier subscription doesn't add much more in the way of security tools, but the password manager and software updates are automatic, so you don't need to worry about them.

The Family plan covers 30 devices for $5.79/mo ($69.48/yr.) For $4.19/mo ($50.28/yr) you can cover 5 devices at once. This is enough data for more than a day of continuous music streaming, or 10 hours of watching Netflix.Īvast One Individual and Avast One Family are the same program with the only difference being the number of devices you can protect. The secure VPN is available for Essential users, but it's limited to only 5GB each week, with a single server location available. You also have to manually check for software updates and start the process of downloading and installing them yourself. For example, you can use the password manager to look for any passwords that have been compromised, but this must be run manually. Essential has other tools, but they have limits.
