With Avast and Microsoft in your corner, there’s not much that can get in your way. When Microsoft supports Avast Antivirus on all Windows machines, it sends a clear message: we’re respected for what we do. That’s why industry experts like PC Magazine and PC Advisor rate us highly too.

I have used Avast for a few years. The protection is the best for the money. I also cover my phones with Avast and I haven’t had any problems yet.
