Avast Premier
Unparalleled protection that takes care of every little detail - including a proper Data Shredder, to help you get rid of files for good.
Intelligent antivirus
Detects all kinds of nasty threats, from viruses to malware. Yes, even spyware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
Smart Scan
The ultimate time-saver. Check your PC and network for all kinds of issues in just one easy click.
Home Network Security
Is your router set up properly? We'll tell you. Otherwise, anyone can break into your network and anything connected to it (like your computer, phone, or printer).
Browser Cleanup
Get rid of mystery toolbars, add-ons, and extensions that were installed without you noticing - and without your permission.
Firewall
You lock your front door to keep thieves out of your home - so why should your computer be any different? Firewall keeps you safe from all kinds of intruders.
Passwords
Too many passwords, none of which are safe? It's fairly common. Remember just one, and Passwords will take care of the rest.
Sandbox
Ever downloaded a file from a shady server and suspected it's trouble? Test files in a sealed space first, and keep the rest of your PC safe.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Automatic Software Updater: The Internet is full of extensive guides on how to exploit security issues in outdated software. The key is to be faster than hackers. Automatically.
Data Shredder
Do you share your PC, have it repaired, or are about to sell it? It's easy to recover deleted files that are for your eyes only. Wipe them for good.
SAFE PAYMENTS AND BANKING
SecureDNS: Your router settings can be changed to connect you to a fake site. Why? So hackers can steal your banking details. SecureDNS keeps your online banking safe.
Anti-spam
Spam isn't just annoying. It can be dangerous, too. Premier keeps you - and your money - safe from threats like phishing emails.
SafeZone
Pay and bank safely, without anyone seeing your details. SafeZone creates a protective space that hackers - and anyone else - can't access.
CONVENIENCE
In-product support: Having trouble with your Avast? You don't have to search far and wide to get help. Just send us a message from your very own Premier.

Avast Premier's strongest feature is Home Network Security, a network scanner that examines your router and connected hard drives for potential problems. None of the other five premium antivirus products we evaluated examined the home network in such depth; most didn't do much more than tell you whether your Wi-Fi password was strong enough.
The program has browser add-ons for the top Web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, which extend Avast's malware shield into the online world. The software lacks a password manager, but for $10 more, you can add EasyPass, an add-on that can store an unlimited number of encrypted log-on credentials. (Many Web browsers already do this.)
Avast Premier's SafeZone is actually a hardened Web browser, based on the open-source Chromium project, that needs to be downloaded, installed and operated separately. It's available only with paid Avast products. Perfect for online financial dealings and shopping, SafeZone operates in a "sandbox," a cordoned-off area in the computer's memory and storage. It prevents the addition of browser extensions in order to foil potential phishers and keystroke loggers.
Got something to hide? We all do, and Avast Premier has a competent Data Shredder that overwrites a file instead of merely marking it as available space, as a regular Trash function would. On the other hand, you can't adjust the level of file eradication, as you can with Kaspersky and McAfee's software. Avast Premier also lacks an encrypted file vault for storing embarrassing or sensitive files.
Within Settings, you can configure the system's automatic-update engine and do some rudimentary troubleshooting. Avast's Active Protection — a category of features that range from malware to email settings as well as ways to exclude certain items — is incredibly powerful, showing at a glance which aspects of Avast's arsenal are being used. The items are listed on the left with bright-blue on/off switches on the right. Each line has a link for customizing the protection.
Avast Premier does without a few items that its peers provide, such as Kaspersky's webcam protection, which makes sure that your face (or worse) doesn't end up being plastered on the Internet. Families, take note that Avast Premier also does without any parental controls or automatic site-blocking features. You can place specific sites off-limits at any time, though.
Avast Premier doesn't offer a performance-optimization engine, such as you would find with Bitdefender's One-Click Optimizer, Trend Micro's PC Health Checkup or Kaspersky's Windows Troubleshooter.
Avast Premier is one of the most easy-to-use applications for those planning to make higher level of security of personal PC as well as Internet browsing. Its interface is simple and clear so that you do not need a special technical knowledge to set it up. It has nice and modern design so that you will love working with it. Currently Avast has a comprehensive update on its number of features and tools. There are numerous add-ons, which can help you to permanently destroy files as well as notice you immediately if something happens.
With a comprehensive list of tools and features, which are always updated immediately, you will have an opportunity to scan your files, documents and Internet websites and pages, create reports and watch statistics, which can help you to monitor a performance. In case of any questions you can easily ask questions or get a quick support from client service of Avast Premier, which is available 24/7.
