While the free download blocks viruses and spyware, the Avast Premium Security suite adds to that ransomware protection, a firewall, a spam filter, secure file deletion and webcam hijacking protection.
There’s other welcome bonuses too, such as a Wi-Fi inspector that warns you of network weaknesses and intruders in real time, and a software updater that automatically finds and installs missing security patches.
