You can jump to the reviews of those individual products by clicking on the links in the bar at the top of this page, but bear in mind that this article is really designed to be read all the way through, as the core features of Avast Premium Security are present in both the free package and the Ultimate suite.Īvast Free Antivirus is one of the most popular antivirus apps around, and it's easy to see why. (c) our review of the free offering, Avast Free Antivirus (b) the top-end package, Avast Ultimate, and (a) a full evaluation of the Avast Premium Security suite, along with our reviews of the additional features incorporated with the rest of the range: On this page, after our brief intro, you’ll find I also include TCP/UDP port 853 since that is the common DNS over HTTPS/TLS port used.This is our all-in-one roundup reviewing every Avast consumer security solution for 2021.
