(It doesn't look for missing software patches, unlike the previous Avast Antivirus, although you can still do this manually.) Launch this with a click and it runs a 10-15 second Quick Scan for malware, combined with checks for dubious browser (opens in new tab) add-ons and PC performance issues. Overall, Avast One's dashboard looks great, is easy for beginners to use, but also makes it simple to discover and access the suite's more advanced features.Īvast One's antivirus features begin with the Smart Scan.

Several options aren't available in the free Avast One Essentials (Webcam Protection, Web Hijack Guard, Driver Updater, more.) Some free apps don't mark these, so you're forever clicking buttons and being told 'can't have that until you upgrade, you freeloader.' Avast highlights options you can't use with a padlock, a smarter approach which makes One Essential much more comfortable to use. And if you don't understand something - what is 'File Shield', exactly? - clicking the option gets you a simple explanation (the File Shield allows Avast to scan every file you access to make sure it's safe.) But it's easier to understand what's on offer when you can see everything in one place, rather than browsing around a number of tabs.

Just scroll down and there are shortcuts to scans, the VPN and others, and you can run them all in a couple of clicks.Ĭlicking the Explore button displays a full list of Avast One's features, which does look a little more complicated. Looking to run a scan, connect to the VPN, accelerate your system, for instance? No need to go browsing through various tabs, then try to remember wherever everything is. Out go the dark backgrounds, the tabs, the tiles: in comes a light and airy look, with friendly graphics and speedy access to all of One's core features.

These involve attempting to delete files, change Registry settings, stop or disable services, close processes, unload drivers and more, but none of them made the tiniest difference to the package, which continued to protect us as usual.Īvast One has a totally redesigned interface, and that's mostly a good thing. There was more good news in our self-protection tests ,where we launched a number of attacks on Avast One to see if malware (opens in new tab) could disable it. There are too many variables to make any guarantees, but it's at least possible that installing and setting up Avast One could leave your system faster than it was before. That's based on Avast One Essentials and without using any of Avast's speedup tools, either. Previously Avast slowed us down a little more than average, but this time we found no measurable difference at all. We tested Avast One's impact on system performance by running top benchmark (opens in new tab) PCMark Professional before and after installation. The end result was a speedy and hassle-free installation on our normal review system. The installer doesn't try to set Avast Secure Browser as your system default, for instance (in fact, Avast One doesn't include Secure Browser at all.)Īvast One Essential doesn't require registration, either, so there's no need to create accounts or hand over any personal information. This certainly keeps life simple, though, and the setup process has improved in other ways. Previously you could clear a checkbox if you didn't need the firewall, say, or the cleanup tools, and they wouldn't be installed.
