FAQs

While free antivirus software comes with all the essential protection you need to stay safe online, premium antivirus software has additional features and benefits that can both improve your security and give you the tools you need to counter new threats as they emerge. With Avast Premium Security, you’ll automatically detect and avoid malicious websites, and defend against remote hacking attacks. And you can extend these added protections across up to ten devices — allowing you to better protect your family and friends.

If you already have Avast Pro Antivirus, Avast Internet Security, or Avast Premier version 7.x or later, you do not need to uninstall your current version. Avast Antivirus setup automatically detects these versions and upgrades the existing installation to Avast Premium Security (for PC, Single-Device).
