We increasingly live our lives through our digital devices, and the privacy and cybersecurity threats we face are growing increasingly sophisticated. It’s no longer enough to just be careful online, and everything from targeted exploits to data leaks mean you can be at risk even if you don’t make a mistake.
Cybersecurity is a big focus here at TechRadar, and we’re continuously testing today’s software security suites to see which work best at helping give you an extra layer of protection. Avast offers some of the most affordable security suites available, and two of its most popular options rate highly in our guides to the best malware removal and the best antivirus software.
Avast Free Antivirus helps give comprehensive protection against viruses, spyware and other threats, and it earned a respectable 4 stars in our review. Then there’s Avast One – a simple to use, yet powerful all-in-one solution with an extra focus on privacy – also scoring 4 stars in our review. Importantly, both are available for Windows and macOS, plus Apple and Android phones.
We love that Avast makes its entry-level antivirus software available for free, but the company also offers a range of affordable paid options that include extra features and deeper levels of protection. Now, making the move to better security can be a little daunting at first, and the extra peace of mind does come with a price – especially if you need to protect a large range of devices across your whole family.
To help make the decision to upgrade a little easier, Avast has gotten into the Black Friday sales period and is offering up some huge discounts on Avast Antivirus and Avast One. From November 26 to December 8, you can get up to a whopping 80% off a yearly subscription, with options to suit a single device, or coverage for up to thirty.
We’ve highlighted some of our favourite deals below, but don’t forget to check out the Avast store for all the company’s Black Friday offers.
The big discounts on offer here are a great opportunity to test out two of the top premium protection options (as attested to by our guides and reviews mentioned above), at a very affordable price. Giving Avast a try also comes with less risk as the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible purchases.
