Mission

AVAST Software leads the security software industry – protecting 177,310,764 active devices around the globe – by offering FREE antivirus software that makes no compromises in terms of protection. Available for Windows, Mac, and Android, our free security software solutions are dependable, fast, use few resources, and often outperform our competitors’ paid-for products.
Referrals from our avast! user community help maximize the “free” user base, while many users opt to purchase other avast! home or business security solutions. Notably, nearly two-thirds of avast! users come to us via referrals.
As well, avast! Business Partners distribute our security solutions and provide local tech support to avast! users in their native languages. Our loyal user community – from forum support to volunteer translators – helps sustain and strengthen our business model.
Anchored by our CommunityIQ network of sensors and supported by multiple protective layers, avast! software has received many industry awards over the last 20 years, with performance certified by, among others, AV-Comparatives, VB100, ICSA Labs, and West Coast Labs.
