Avast’s free review windows
The interface of Avast is simple to use, and has an obvious separation between the various elements. The blue icons are easy to use and feature orange accents that match the logo of the company. The homepage allows you to conduct a scan and turn on the VPN as well as shortcuts to a couple of not-very-useful system optimisation tools are also available. The fact that the most useful features are hidden away in the «Explore tab» is quite frustrating.
Installation is easy, and you’re not pushed into choosing the free version, although the full scan will reveal «advanced issues» that can only be resolved by paying for premium security. This is a bit sneaky and especially when the Resolve button leads you to a page that asks you to sign to Avast’s Premium security plan. Avast also sells user information which was revealed in a 2020 article by Which? magazine.
