Your device's guard against cybersecurity threats
Avast Premium Security is a premium security and privacy software developed to protect your devices from modern cybersecurity threats. Offering a full set of essential tools, it keeps you safe as you navigate the web, use personal devices, or manage sensitive data without getting in the way of your daily use.
You can expect Avast Premium Security to provide multiple layers of defense. From blocking viruses and scams to preventing unauthorized access, it works quietly in the background. It’s an antivirus solution built to protect you from different situations—whether you're checking emails, shopping online, or storing important files.
High-grade protection that covers the basics and beyond
Avast Premium Security starts by offering the kind of protection you'd expect, but with stronger real-time capabilities. It constantly monitors for malware, spyware, and phishing attempts—blocking threats before they reach your system. Whether you're clicking on a new link or downloading a file, this software checks it on the spot. Additionally, it automatically updates its malware database, so you’re always protected against the latest threats without any manual input.
For more targeted risks, the Remote Access Shield steps in. This feature protects your files and system by blocking unauthorized attempts to remotely access or encrypt your data—common tactics in ransomware attacks. It’s especially useful when connecting to public Wi-Fi or shared networks, where security is weaker and intruders can easily intercept your connection. The built-in firewall further strengthens this defense by monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic, giving you added control over who can reach your device.
To reduce the chance of falling for fake websites, the software also checks web addresses before loading them. This helps keep your information safer when logging into banks or shopping platforms. For instance, if you’re making an online purchase from a new store, it verifies the site to ensure it’s legitimate. It’s a practical feature that adds a layer of security to common activities without needing constant attention or adjustments on your end.
Privacy, control, and smooth performance
Another feature of Avast Premium Security that provides quiet but essential protection is the webcam shield. It blocks unwanted apps or websites from turning on your camera without permission. When you use your laptop for meetings or video calls, it ensures your camera doesn’t activate unexpectedly. You can control which programs are allowed to access the webcam. It’s a simple safeguard, but one that fits well into daily routines without needing constant user input.
In addition, this software is designed to keep your system responsive, minimizing performance disruptions during scans or updates. It also creates automatic backups, ensuring that your data remains safe in the event of a system crash or malware attack. To top it off, this premium security solution offers flexible plans—whether you need protection for just a single device or prefer a multi-device subscription that covers up to 10 devices across various platforms.
A smarter shield with AI-powered Scam Guardian Pro
Avast Premium Security has just gotten even better with the introduction of Scam Guardian Pro, a powerful suite of AI-driven scam protection features that significantly enhance its defense capabilities. For existing users, these upgrades offer more than just passive defense—they bring real-time, intelligent monitoring to your everyday digital activities. From browsing to emails, these enhancements are designed to meet today’s increasingly deceptive cyber threats head-on. It’s a much-needed evolution in a time when scams are growing harder to spot, even for the tech-savvy.
At the core of this upgrade is Avast Assistant, a 24/7 personal anti-scam tool built into the Avast ecosystem. It’s more than just an alert mechanism—it offers clear, practical guidance whenever you encounter questionable links, websites, text messages, or offers. By simplifying scam detection through conversational assistance, it helps you feel more secure navigating the digital world. Currently, this feature is only available on the desktop version of the software.
This update also features Web Guard, another beneficial tool that monitors websites in real time by analyzing both their content and embedded code while cross-referencing a database of over 11 million known malicious URLs to detect hidden scams. On desktops, this feature performs comprehensive, contextual AI-driven assessments to identify deceptive web elements. As for the mobile platform, however, its functionality is limited to basic URL scanning.
Finally, Email Guard rounds out the anti-scam suite by applying contextual AI to assess the tone and structure of incoming messages. It works by flagging potentially harmful content, such as phishing attempts or social engineering tactics, even before a message is opened. Additionally, it maintains consistent functionality across all platforms, providing reliable email scam detection on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Smarter digital security
Overall, Avast Premium Security offers a well-rounded suite of features for users seeking reliable digital protection. Its tools are practical, easy to use, and suited for everyday tasks—whether you're browsing the web, storing files, or managing sensitive information. With the addition of AI-driven capabilities, it provides proactive defense that adapts to modern cybersecurity threats. It’s a smart and forward-thinking antivirus solution for daily use.
