World-class virus protection for any device.

6 layers of antivirus security.

Sometimes your operating system’s built-in protection isn’t enough. Adding Avast Free Antivirus lets you run automatic smart scans on software, files, and apps to find cracks where malware can slip in, plus send suspicious files for analysis in the cloud, get threat alerts, and more.

Smart Scan

Scans your device for hard-to-find vulnerabilities in hidden places.

Cyber Capture

Automatically sends suspicious files for analysis in the Cloud, then pushes a cure to Avast users if needed.

Behavior Shield

Alerts you immediately if any of your apps start behaving suspiciously.

File Shield

Alerts you to any suspicious files — before you open them.

Rescue Disk

Scans your device while your system’s switched off, so you can safely remove malware.

Quarantine

Stores potentially harmful files and completely isolates them from the rest of your operating system.
