Avast Premium Security
More than just antivirus, Avast Premium Security is complete online protection for all of your computers, phones, and tablets.
Avast Premium Security
Security that’s tailored to fit your needs
Custom features for PC, Mac, Android, and iPhone/iPad secure your devices where it’s needed most.
Single- and Multi-Device options let you choose the protection that works best for you.
“Up to 10 devices” means you can share your security with every one of your devices or everyone closest to you.
Protection against your greatest online foes
Avast Premium Security protects against all online threats including spoofed websites and ransomware.
Now you can safely shop and bank online
Spoofed (fake) websites are one of the oldest hacking tricks in the book. Avast Premium Security scans websites for security risks on both your computer and mobile phone, so you can finally shop and bank online safely on any device.
TECH CORNER
Spoofed websites have become increasingly sophisticated over the years. For example, a hacker may use DNS spoofing to create a malicious duplicate of a legitimate shopping or banking website. The goal is to trick you into typing your credit card details or banking login info into the fake site — before you know it, you’ve handed over your sensitive information to a stranger.
Avast Premium Security keeps you safe by automatically redirecting you to secure sites, ensuring that you never land on a spoofed website. It also protects against hacked routers that use fake DNS settings to send you to fake websites.
Stop hackers from taking over your PC
Remote access attacks are on the rise — and the last thing you want is for a hacker to remotely take control of your PC and infect it with malware or lock your files with ransomware. Avast Premium Security now protects your PC against these attacks.
TECH CORNER
The most dominant vector for remote access attacks is Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is a useful tool for granting authorized remote access when needed, but can be a loophole for an attack if not used properly. Remote Access Shield protects against such attacks in three ways:
- Detect and block brute-force attacks by counting unsuccessful login attempts within a specified period of time and blocking the IP address associated with these attempts.
- Secure known OS vulnerabilities and prevent RDP exploit attacks aimed at breaching them.
- Automatically block all IP addresses known to distribute malware by exploiting RDP ports. Our database is continuously updated using our AI algorithm.
Whichever devices you use, we’ve got you covered

You may still be wondering...
Is it worth paying for antivirus?
Yes. While free antivirus software comes with all the essential protection you need to stay safe online, paid antivirus software has additional features and benefits that can both improve your security and give you the tools you need to better deal with cybersecurity situations as they arise. In short, premium antivirus offers a level of flexibility that free antivirus doesn’t have. If you’re uncertain if you want a paid antivirus or not, you can download an Avast Premium Security free trial and try it for yourself for 30 days:
What are the system requirements for Avast Premium Security?

Mac: macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher with 750 MB of hard disk space.

iOS: iOS 12.0 or higher.
IMPORTANT: Avast Premium Security is not supported (is not compatible, cannot be installed, and will not run) on DOS, Microsoft Windows editions earlier than Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Server operating systems, or any others not specified as supported.
What's the difference between Avast Premium Security (Single-Device) and Avast Premium Security (Multi-Device) subscriptions?
While both Avast Premium Security subscription types offer complete online security, each is suitable for a specific number of devices.

- Avast Premium Security (for PC, Single-Device)
- Avast Premium Security (for Mac, Single-Device)

- Avast Mobile Security Premium (for iOS, Single-Device)
An Avast Premium Security (Multi-Device) subscription protects up to 10 devices, regardless of platform.
Can I change the 10 devices activated with my Avast Premium Security (Multi-Device) subscription?
Yes. If you have 10 devices already activated using your Avast Premium Security (Multi-Device) subscription, you must uninstall Avast Premium Security from one device before activating it on a new device. Once uninstalled, you can install Avast Premium Security on your new device.To activate the product on the new device, go to your Avast Account, and retrieve the activation code for Avast Premium Security (Multi-Device).
Is it necessary to uninstall my previous Avast Antivirus version before upgrading to Avast Premium Security on my PC?
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).
