Avast Premium Security

Avast Premium Security Overview

Avast Premium Security is an Avast product that offers antivirus protection and advanced security for your PC against online threats. It allows users to safely shop and bank online, avoid fake websites and phishing scams, block web spies, and more. Avast Premium Security also includes key features from Avast Internet Security and Avast Premier products, both of which no longer exist.

Avast Premium Security protects against all online threats, including spoofed websites and ransomware. Complemented by SafeZone technology, it creates an isolated virtual desktop, invisible to any possible attacker, where you can do your online shopping and banking securely.

The Avast award-winning and certified antivirus engine and shields stop even previously unknown threats – for peace of mind when you chat or spend time on Facebook, Twitter, or other websites.

The silent firewall stops hackers and other unauthorized entry attempts to your PC, to keep your data where it belongs – safe and sound. The antispam feature blocks both spam and sophisticated “phishing” attempts, to keep you from clicking “harmless” links that really can cause damage.
