Ratings and reviews

In my opinion it's better than the big boys, like Norton, Mcafee and Kaspersky. Keeps me tuned up, great VPN and basically runs in the background without slowing me down, letting me know of dangerous apps and downloads before opening then. Tells you what apps and files are draining my memory. All in all, really keeps me running smooth. Best decision that I made in selecting security. Thanks to all at Avast.

Excellent 👍 app feel so much safer and because I am safer with Avast. They give me a heads up on unsafe redirects. Apps. and it's all for $11 a year I think. It's just worth it. My phone hasn't slowed down yet. Before having Avast my phone always slowed down after a month or so. Viruses are out there. Just waiting to do damage. It's better to be safe !!!

Quick/EASY PEACE OF MIND If you're looking for something quick and easy to navigate then tap install. It directs you through the entire set-up and explains everything (for us non tech people 😉). Now I can be at peace knowing my info is protected. Granted NOTHING is 100% ,but when you have protection it makes it more difficult for those "bad people and apps". This tends to cause them to move on to an easier target. Good luck and stay safe. Mostly, use your common sense. 😀😉😉
