With immediate effect, we have withdrawn the availability of all of our products from Russia and Belarus and suspended all marketing and sales operations in these countries.
In Ukraine, we are maintaining and bolstering our product offerings. We are giving paying users an extension on their licenses for free. Users of our freemium products are now also able to get our premium products for free.

Avast is also committed……
“ To aid the important relief work that has mobilized over the last two weeks, Avast is donating over $800k to humanitarian organizations including People in Need through our employee donation matching program and philanthropic arm, the Avast Foundation. I am incredibly proud of our employees who have been passionate about contributing to these efforts and volunteering to support local relief efforts on the ground in their own countries. As an organization, we are also working with local charities on the ground to address skills-based volunteering opportunities and help Ukrainian organizations avoid cyber threats or recover from a cyber attack.

We continue to monitor the changing situation and will adjust our approach as needed. We hope that the governments and agencies around the world working to restore peace and prevent senseless loss of life will prevail.”

Thank you Avast!
Peace to all ✌️
