How fake websites work
Cybercriminals use fake websites to try and deceive you. They make their sites look like legitimate ones, hoping that you’ll trust them and unthinkingly hand over sensitive information. This could be something like an account password. Avast Premium Security flags risky sites before they get the chance to load up on your web browser, helping you surf online safer and more confidently.
Whichever devices you use, we’ve got you covered
Help to prevent hackers from taking over your PC
Viruses, ransomware, scams, and other attacks have always targeted Windows more than any other operating system, but what’s concerning is the rise of remote access attacks. The last thing you need is a hacker remotely taking control of your PC and infecting it with malware or locking your files with ransomware. But no need to worry — Avast Premium Security helps protect your PC against such attacks.
How Remote Access Shield works
Did you know that Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the main route hackers use for remote access attacks? No doubt remote access is useful when someone uses it for the right reasons. The opposite applies when it’s not. Here are three ways that Remote Access Shield helps to protect you:
- Identifies and helps stop brute-force attacks by logging failed login attempts within a specific time period and blocking the offending the IP address.
- Tightens the security of familiar operating system (OS) weaknesses and helps to stop RPD attacks that exploit them.
- Shields you automatically from IP addresses that distribute malware by exploiting RDP ports — all powered by our AI-driven and constantly updating database.

FAQs
What is the best way to protect my computer from viruses and malware?
Downloading a reputable antivirus and security app like Avast One is the simplest way to help protect your computer. To give yourself a better chance of avoiding online threats, be careful about what websites you visit. Avoid illegal, risky keygen or torrenting sites, for example. Plus, keep your computer’s software up to date and use strong online passwords.
Can I use a cracked or keygen version of an antivirus or security app?
Not only is cracked or keygen software illegal in most countries, it can potentially infect your computer with malware and introduce security vulnerabilities. In short, it’s not worth the trouble for many very good reasons.
Can I download an antivirus or security app from a torrent site?
We strongly advise that you avoid downloading apps like these from torrenting sites. Why? These websites often distribute downloads contaminated with malware and viruses that could harm your computer. Avoiding them puts you in a better position to avoid the associated problems, plus it keeps you on the right side of the law too.
Are there any free antivirus and security apps available?
Yes, of course! Backed by more than 30 years’ experience, our free antivirus is a great place to start, complemented by millions of users worldwide. Whichever antivirus or security brand you choose, just make sure it’s recognized and reputable like us. This is the best way to make sure you get the best possible protection.
What features should I look for in a free antivirus app?
Choose an antivirus app that offers real-time scanning. In other words, it should continuously monitor your computer for malware. It should also offer automatic updates and a firewall too. The latter filters and monitors your computer’s network traffic to intercept and fend off cyberthreats. Our free antivirus software can help you with all these things while you benefit from our huge global threat detection network and malware protection powered by machine learning.
