Reviewed on 7/6/2021
It's an excellent experience to start using Avast Business Antivirus, the best solution to counter cyber threats. I am still a passionate user of this fantastic tool and enjoying its features with the comfort of a secure PC.
Pros
Avast Business Antivirus provides excellent data security against viruses and malware in a very reasonable yearly plan. There is no free version, but a free trial is a better option to understand this fantastic tool's working efficiency. I have been using Avast business Antivirus for a long time, and it's a tremendous antivirus that saves my precious data from cyber threats. I never got frustrated by unwanted interruptions from the software. Automatically updates when Connecting with the internet. It blocks unwanted content and suggests to me how to protect my PC from viruses. It runs quietly on the backend and consumes minimal memory. Indicate and efficiently remove the threats. Avast provides me with add Block, Bank Privacy, and so many other cool features.
Cons
In a full scan, it seems to be slow but gives accurate results at the end. I did not find anything to be less liked.

Effective anti virus software
Reviewed on 8/3/2021
Pros
Avast Business Antivirus is really effective in protecting my work computer and monitoring my internet activities. It will giving alert if any of my downloaded files is containing a suspicious program and will quarantine it immediately and will advice me what to do with the suspicious program.
Cons
Full deep scanning session will draw too much of my computer resources like RAM and CPU power, it will make other software that i use while it scanning the computer will running slow and crash. A schedule timer for it to do a full scan should be set to avoiding it interfering with my work time.

Overrated antivirus.
Reviewed on 4/25/2022
It didn't measure up to my expectations.
I hope they make changes to the risk assessment function, it doesn't estimate threats as it should.
Pros
I won't lie, Avast is a true windows defender, it will definitely keep you protected from anything but, it takes no tolerance when it defines some file/program as a threat.
Cons
I never liked how the risk assessment works, most files aren't even an actual threat but it still detect it as a "High Risk" file and erases it.

Reviewed on 10/21/2021
It's the antivirus that I use on my personal computers and it always worked for me, so everything is fine.
Pros
It's easy to use and beautiful to look at, the functions are complete (even in its free version) and adding an exception is very easy, a task that I do constantly.
Cons
Something I don't like is that in the installation it offers to install third-party software, you can choose not to install it but it's still annoying.

Very good antivirus
Reviewed on 5/6/2021
Pros
One of the best antivirus I've every used. It blocks everything. Unwanted ads, suspect files and sometimes e-mails from social medias and unknown senders - but I rather leave it like that than to clickbait something that can harm my safety. And you can Unlock some websites so it works just fine.
Cons
No big difference between the free and paid version. I get more reports but they seem kind of useless.

Not what I expected
Reviewed on 7/15/2021
Although I think Avast Antivirus software should have more security feature for the basic paid option, I do think that the software greatly aids users in becoming more cyber secure.
Pros
Avast Antivirus software does a very good job with its user interface and does an excellent job notifying users of security issues and make user more security aware.
Cons
I have found that the Avast Antivirus does require many add-on to work to its full extent, so the basic paid versions still do not have all the feature that I wised it had.

A Solid Antivirus Software.
Reviewed on 8/17/2021
Avast Business Antivirus has protected my PC from all possible Viral threats both online and offline. I couldn't ask for more.
Pros
There are lots of Pros. One thing you can count on is that Avast provides frequent updates, which puts your devices in the best possible position to combact all current and future threats. You're getting solid antivirus software by choosing Avast Business Antivirus.
Cons
The only negativity I could think of is perhaps the false negatives. There are times when the antivirus sees some useful software as a threat and quarantines them. I solve this by disabling antivirus whenever I want to install such software. Besides, this seems common with all Anti-virus software, and I guess it's nothing to worry about.

A Competent and Great Antivirus to Counter the Harmful and Threatening Virus
Reviewed on 4/29/2022
Pros
Avast Business Antivirus has multiple advanced security features that are significantly impressive. The scanning feature is particularly fascinating as this antivirus scans my device and notifies me about the possible dangers that can cause harm to my computer.
Cons
The principal disappointing part of Avast Business Antivirus is its intricate setup procedure. The complete setup procedure is too lengthy and time-consuming. I feel that the setup procedure could be friendlier.
