Avast Antivirus & Security goes far beyond basic malware detection, it includes features like a virus scanner, Wi-Fi security checks, a junk file cleaner, and real-time protection against phishing links. You can scan apps and files, identify risky permissions, and check for leaked passwords

With optional premium upgrades, you can access VPN, lock apps, and remove ads. Email Guardian and Scam Protection provide extra security against inbox threats and fraud. Avast Antivirus & Security uses a layered approach, combining local scanning and cloud-based detection. From on-device privacy tools to alert systems, it focuses on tightening security through multiple built-in modules.

Scan, block, secure, alert

Avast Antivirus & Security antivirus engine performs real-time scans across apps, files, and browsing activity. It automatically identifies malware, spyware, and Trojans and blocks them before they activate. The Web Shield monitors for suspicious URLs and prevents access to harmful websites, while the Virus Cleaner removes detected threats. Hack Alerts quickly notify you if your credentials are found in known breaches.

Avast’s Photo Vault encrypts selected media behind a PIN, fingerprint, or pattern, restricting access to authorized users only. App Lock performs a similar function by allowing individual apps to be locked for added privacy. App Insights shows which installed apps request what permissions, helping you understand access levels. The app also monitors background activity and can flag potential overuse or suspicious patterns. However, background services can slow down performance.

The Wi-Fi Security tool scans local networks for vulnerabilities before you connect. This helps reduce exposure on public networks, where threats are often hidden in unsecured traffic. For the premium VPN, internet traffic is encrypted and rerouted through alternate locations. It also includes a Wi-Fi Speed Test, measuring upload and download performance, and alerts when connecting to potentially compromised networks.

  • Pros

    • Multiple scanning tools for files, apps, and web
    • PIN or fingerprint locking for photos and apps
    • Real-time alert system for password breaches
    • Integrated VPN for secure browsing for premium
  • Cons

    • Background services can slow down performance

Bottom Line

Layered protection

Avast Antivirus & Security handles malware scans, app permission checks, and email alerts while including a VPN and privacy vaults for those who upgrade. The features operate through a layered and modular system that segments core protections from optional services. While the app includes a significant number of tools, its larger size and multiple background services can be too demanding for lighter devices.
