FAQ

If you're a business that handles client data or has servers, then you need more than what our free consumer antivirus offers. Avast Business solutions offer advanced security, privacy, and productivity features to give your employees total digital privacy, security, and unparalleled productivity. They also come with an online management platform to provide real-time visibility of threats, comprehensive reporting, and remote management capabilities from a single platform.

Avast free consumer antivirus, Avast One, and Premium Security are intended for private, personal, and non-commercial use only. If you would like to use Avast in a business, commercial, non-profit, or government organization, we recommend trying Avast Business solutions.

For more information, please review our Avast End-User License Agreement (EULA).

All of our products include our next-generation antivirus for businesses designed to prevent, search for, detect, and remove malware and other malicious software (worms, trojans, adware, spyware, and more). We protect millions of businesses worldwide by using the industry’s best prevention, detection, blocking capabilities, machine learning, advanced heuristics, advanced anti-exploit, and other Avast proprietary techniques.

To protect users, Avast detects and immediately reports any suspicious files or behavior. This state-of-the-art infrastructure and access to an immense amount of security data gathered from millions of devices around the globe gives us one of the largest, most advanced threat detection networks in the world. Plus, it allows us to provide unrivaled zero-day protection.

Our cutting-edge technology transforms our users into a worldwide network of cooperating sensors. If any one of them encounters malware, Avast uses 6 layers of protection to identify, block, and inform the entire network in a matter of seconds.

For the Essential Business Security solution, the online management platform is optional. You can choose to install Essential Business Security on each device independently without management capabilities. However, our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub, allows you to manage all your devices from one place. It provides robust reporting, alerting, device and policy management, network discovery, remote access and support tools, and more. As your business and security needs grow, the Avast Business Hub allows you to add other services such as Patch Management and Cloud Backup that can all be managed from one platform.

No, Avast Essential Business Security is only available with our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub.

The following browsers are supported by our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub (latest versions recommended):
