Avast (Free)
Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus is the newest version of the popular programme. It provides top-notch protection against new-age threats to your PC or smartphone.
New security and privacy features
The new version comes with all the old functions, plus several new ones for added security. Most notably, there’s now an anti-phishing software protecting you from spam. The do-not-disturb mode blocks all notifications. You will also find an improved system for protecting data-sensitive files.
Background operations
This version of Avast is highly praised for being so user-friendly. Many critical processes will run behind the scenes even when you turn on the do-not-disturb function. Features that will run in the background are the wireless network inspector, a webcam shield, a built-in firewall, and a cloud-based file scanner.
