User reviews

I have been using AVAST software for Almost 2 decades and I find it very suitable for any Internet surfing or searching that I do. I have used both the AVAST premium Internet security and the AVAST VPN. I like the AVAST Internet security because it allows me to set not only the level of security I want but it lets me establish it where I want it. The AVAST VPN has the capability of shutting down my Internet if anything interrupts the VPN. All in all, for the price, I have found it to be all the security I need. I give it five stars.
