avast! Pro Antivirus

Description

avast! Pro Antivirus is a security tool for Windows that protects against malware. It includes a sandbox, DNS protection, password management, smart network scanning, and password management.

Pro Antivirus detects various malware types in real-time. This includes ransomware, spyware and phishing attacks. The program sends unknown files to the Avast Threat Labs that are analyzed to determine if they pose a risk and an isolated sandbox space that allows you to safely test suspicious files. The software also makes your computing tasks easier with one click network scanning and a password manager for organizing your passwords.

The software provides a SafeZone browser with tools for protecting you while browsing and cleaning up browser toolbars, extensions, and add-ons installed without your permission. Pro Antivirus includes SecureDNS to protect you against DNS hijacking, which redirects you to fake websites to steal your login details.

Pro Antivirus is primarily installed on home computers as an upgrade from its Free Antivirus software. It is worth considering for protecting your PC with its sandbox file testing space, network scanning, and password management capabilities. It does not offer the same protection features as the Norton Security and Kaspersky Anti-Virus Windows security softwares, which are both more affordable.
