I have used this app on the phone without issue for a few months now. And I have used them for years on my desktop. I haven't ever run into any issues while using Avast. But my favorite part of Avast us the vast amount of features and very precise settings. You can fine tune it exactly how you want it to work. Top quality anti-virus in my opinion.

User friendly, low cost, and doesn't use a lot of battery and system resources. One thing I would add for possible fufure improvement is that if the Avast can add multiple web browsers into the monitoring list (currently, it only allows for the primary browser) it may add more value to the software. Well, just a thought. Great app, and I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Speed Test, Web Shield Broken Avast's speed test reports that my Internet speed is 2.5 times faster than the speed I purchase from Xfinity. Avast also reports speeds that much faster than dedicated speed tools (like Ookla) reportes. Avast Web Sheild often blocks legitimate websites that have been safe for years. I am a multiyear Avast premium customer. Avast's only response to my help request was to check if I had the latest version. These features and all the upsells are useless.
